Title: Microsoft Windows Object Packager Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
The Microsoft Windows Object Packager is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. This issue is due to how the affected component handles file extensions.
The vulnerability could be exploited by a malicious web site. This vulnerability could let an attacker spoof dialogues, enticing a victim into installing a file that has been misrepresented. A successful attack that exploits this vulnerability could result in execution of arbitrary code. An exploit could completely compromise the affected computer.
Specific details of this vulnerability have recently been provided. An attacker may take advantage of insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input to trick a victim user into opening a specially-crafted file with a spoofed filename. The Object Packager 'Command Line' property of the malicious file could be manipulated in such a way that the Object Packager file would contain a file other than the one specified.
