Detailed Information on the risk:
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Windows Authenticode Signature Verification function used for portable executable (PE) and cabinet file formats. An anonymous attacker could exploit the vulnerability by modifying an existing signed executable file to manipulate unverified portions of the signature and file in such a way as to add malicious code to the file without invalidating the signature.
