Brief overview of the risk:
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way DirectX handles supported format files.
Detailed Information on the risk:
This vulnerability could allow code execution if a user opened a specially crafted file. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability 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. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.Further information on this exploit is available at : MS07-064
