Microsoft Releases Security Advisory 954157

Original release date: December 11, 2009 at 2:06 pm
Last revised: December 11, 2009 at 2:06 pm


Microsoft has released security advisory 954157 to notify users of an
update that increases the security of the Indeo codec on Microsoft
Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003. The advisory states that the Indeo
codec running on these systems may allow remote code execution when
opening specially crafted media content. Microsoft indicates that this
update blocks the Indeo codec from being launched in Internet Explorer
or Windows Media player, which removes a potential attack vector.

US-CERT encourages users and administrators to review Microsoft
security advisory 954157 and apply any necessary updates or
workarounds to help mitigate the risks.
