Detail
| This critical security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in GDI. Exploitation of either of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted EMF or WMF image file. An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. |

| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 44215 | Microsoft Windows GDI EMF Filename Parameter Handling Overflow A buffer overflow exists in Windows. GDI fails to validate EMF files resulting in a stack overflow. With a specially crafted file, a context-dependent attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 44214 | Microsoft Windows GDI WMF Handling CreateDIBPatternBrushPt Function Overflow A buffer overflow exists in Windows. GDI fails to validate EMF and WMF image files resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted file, a context-dependent attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 44213 | Microsoft Windows GDI (gdi32.dll) EMF File Handling Multiple Overflows A heap overflow overflow exists in Windows. gdi32.dll fails to validate EMF files resulting in a heap overflow. With a specially crafted file, a context-dependent attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |
