There exists a remote code execution vulnerability in Windows Object Packager (MS06-065) due to the way the application handles file extensions. A specially crafted file could be created that would execute code if a user was sent to a malicious website. However, there is quite a bit of user interaction required for this exploit to actually work. Enhanced Security Configuration for Windows 2003 will effectively mitigate this problem.
The CVE for this exploit is CVE-2006-4692 and will not likely see much action in the wild. |
