It is related to a problem in the daxctle.ocx multimedia control for DirectAnimation, first reported two weeks ago. Beyond a proof-of-concept exploit that only functioned on Chinese Windows 2000 computers with certain preconditions, no other code had been publicly sighted capable of exploiting that hole, through which rigged websites could smuggle malware onto visitors' PCs.

The fourth vulnerability is in the function huft_build during LZH processing, however, it merely cases the application to crash. |
