Heap-based buffer overflow in the WMCheckURLScheme function in WMVCORE.DLL in Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 10.00.00.4036 on Windows XP SP2, Server 2003, and Server 2003 SP1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and execute arbitrary code via a long HREF attribute, using an unrecognized protocol, in a REF element in an ASX PlayList file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2006-6134 is an old Windows Media Player flaw where a specially crafted ASX playlist can crash the player and may run attacker-controlled code. Business risk is mainly legacy systems that still open untrusted media playlists on Windows XP or Server 2003-era platforms. Exposure is most plausible on legacy Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003, or Server 2003 SP1 systems using the affected Windows Media Player build and able to open ASX playlists from web, email, or shared-file paths. Prioritize remediation where legacy Windows systems remain in business workflows. Modern estates are unlikely to be affected, but unpatched legacy media-handling systems create avoidable remote-code-execution risk. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft guidance and security update from MS06-078 where applicable.; Inventory and isolate legacy Windows Media Player 10 deployments on unsupported systems.; Reduce handling of untrusted ASX playlists until systems are patched or retired..
