Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Microsoft Windows XP versions SP2 through SP3

Description
A remote code execution issue exists in the Microsoft DirectShow MP3 filter, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted audio file.

The impact may be less severe for users with fewer user rights on the system.
Recommendations
For Microsoft Windows XP versions SP2 through SP3, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
For Microsoft Windows Server 2003 version SP2, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
