The remote host contains a version of Windows Media Player that is affected by a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability.
If an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into opening a specially crafted ASF (Advanced Systems Format) file, this issue could be leveraged to run arbitrary code on the host subject to the userβs privileges.
