| MS13-098 | Vulnerability in Windows Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2893294) | Windows XP | Critical | 11-12-2013 |
Technical Information
Brief overview of the risk:
The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user or application runs or installs a specially crafted, signed portable executable (PE) file on an affected system.
Detailed Information on the risk:
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the WinVerifyTrust function handles Windows Authenticode signature verification for portable executable (PE) files. An anonymous attacker could exploit the vulnerability by modifying an existing signed executable file to leverage unverified portions of the file in such a way as to add malicious code to the file without invalidating the signature.
