The Windows Animated Cursor (ANI) capability in Windows NT, Windows 2000 through SP4, Windows XP through SP1, and Windows 2003 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via (1) the frame number set to zero, which causes an invalid memory address to be used and leads to a kernel crash, or (2) the rate number set to zero, which leads to resource exhaustion and hang.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2004-1305 is an old Windows animated cursor parsing flaw that can crash or hang affected Windows systems when they process malformed ANI content. The business impact is availability loss, not confirmed data theft or code execution in the supplied sources. Exposure is most likely on legacy or unsupported Windows systems that still parse untrusted animated cursor content. The bundle does not identify affected modern Windows versions, cloud services, or non-Windows products. Treat this as a legacy availability risk. It is not a modern enterprise-wide emergency unless affected Windows systems remain in production or support critical operations. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft guidance from MS05-002 where applicable.; Retire or isolate affected legacy Windows systems.; Restrict untrusted ANI or cursor content on legacy hosts..
