Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description	The Microsoft Windows Metafile Format (WMF) is used to store pictures and other graphical renderings as either vector or bitmap-format graphical data. The vector data stored in WMF files is described as Microsoft Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) commands. The WMF format is the original 16-bit Windows metafile format that appeared in Windows 2.0, while the EMF format is a 32-bit revision of the WMF format. A vulnerability exists in the Microsoft Windows Graphics Rendering Engine. The vulnerability exists in the routines that handle the parsing of the Windows Metafile (WMF) and Enhanced Metafile (EMF) image formats. An attacker leveraging this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on the target system with privileges of currently logged in user. In case of an attack where code injection is not successful, the application that was used to open the crafted meta file will terminate. In case of an attack where code injection and execution is successful, the behavior of the target is entirely dependent on the intended function of the injected code. Any code injected would be run with the privileges of the currently logged in user.
