A remote code execution vulnerability in a component of Outlook Express could allow an attacker who sent a Windows Address Book file to a user of an affected system to take complete control of the system.
If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, 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 affected than users who operate with administrative user rights.
Affected Components:
Outlook Express 5.5 Service Pack 2 on Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4
Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1 when installed on Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4
Outlook Express 6 on Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2
Outlook Express 6 on Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
Outlook Express 6 on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1
Outlook Express 6 on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition
Outlook Express 6 on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 for Itanium-based Systems and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with SP1 for Itanium-based Systems
