| Description: |
On September 9th, 2008, Microsoft released a security update MS08-052 - Vulnerabilities in GDI+ Could Allow Remote Code Execution (954593). Some Nortel products contain this software as a component and thus are potentially affected by the vulnerabilities addressed. This bulletin provides a multi-product consolidated response for the Nortel products which are potentially affected. MS08-052 addresses the following potential vulnerabilities: 1. GDI+ VML Buffer Overrun Vulnerability - CVE-2007-5348 (http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5348) A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that GDI+ handles gradient sizes. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user browses to a Web site that contains specially crafted content. 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. 2.
