An unspecified vulnerability exists within Microsoft Windows which may possibly allow for a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code under the context of the logged in user.
This vulnerability requires user interaction by viewing a malicious Windows animated cursor (.ANI) file. .ANI files are commonly used by web developers to display custom cursor animations to enhance web-site experiences.
The most potent attack method is by embedding a malicious .ANI file within an HTML web page. Doing so allows the vulnerability to be exploited with minimal user interaction by simply coaxing a user to follow a hyperlink and visit a malicious web site. Other exploit vectors exist including Microsoft Office applications since they also rely on the same .ANI processing code, making e-mail delivery also a potent threat by using Microsoft Office attachments.
Since .ANI processing is performed by USER32.dll and not the attack vector application itself, all attack vectors have the potential to use a similar exploit with similar address offsets targeted at Windows directly, allowing for a very reliable exploit.
