Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft DirectX 7.0 and 8.1 on Windows 2000 SP4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange (SAMI) file with crafted parameters for a Class Name variable, aka the "SAMI Format Parsing Vulnerability."

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en Microsoft DirectX 7.0 y 8.1 o en Windows 2000 SP4 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de un archivo Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange (SAMI) con parámetros manipulados para una variable Class Name, también conocida como la "Vulnerabilidad SAMI Format Parsing"

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Windows. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists in the parsing of SAMI files. When handling the properties of a "Class Name" variable a lack of bounds checking can result in a stack overflow. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution under the credentials of the logged in user.
