Security Update for Windows XP (KB924667). This security update for Windows XP addresses a vulnerability in Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) that could allow remote code execution.
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the MFC component provided with Microsoft Windows and Visual Studio. An attacker could attempt to exploit this vulnerability when a user interacts with a malformed embedded OLE object within a Rich Text Format (RTF) file or a Rich Text e-mail message.
If a user were 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 rights.
