Posted By: ensiformA vulnerability when running Windows Server 2003 in the Windows Media file format that potentially could allow remote code execution.
This KB is entirely the same as 941569 with the exception that this applies to Windows Server 2003.
A computer can be compromised when watching a Windows Media file which contains special code embedded that allows an attacker to take control over the computer. If a user with less rights than administrator opens the Windows Media file with the exploitable code embedded, the effects could be less of an impact on overall system compromise. Microsoft has labeled this as a critical update!
