A vulnerability was found in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (Operating System) and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown code in the library quartz.dll. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

The QuickTime Movie Parser Filter in quartz.dll in DirectShow in Microsoft DirectX 7.0 through 9.0c on Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2 and SP3, and Windows Server 2003 SP2 does not properly validate unspecified size fields in QuickTime media files, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file, aka "DirectX Size Validation Vulnerability."

The weakness was released 07/15/2009 by Thomas Garnier (TippingPoint) with TippingPoint and the Zero Day Initiative (Website). The advisory is available at us-cert.gov. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2009-1539 since 05/05/2009. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. This vulnerability is assigned to T1059 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 39791 (MS09-028: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft DirectShow Could Allow Remote Code Execution (971633)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Windows : Microsoft Bulletins and running in the context l.

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 8307.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (51463) and Tenable (39791). Entries connected to this vulnerability are available at 3979, 49047, 49045 and 49044.
