Stack-based buffer overflow in mplayer2.exe in Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 6.4, when used with the 3ivx 4.5.1 or 5.0.1 codec, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain .mp4 file, possibly a related issue to CVE-2007-6402.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old media-player code execution issue. A crafted MP4 file could crash or potentially take control of Microsoft Windows Media Player 6.4 when the affected 3ivx codec versions are installed. Business risk is mainly legacy endpoints that still process untrusted media files. Exposure is likely limited to obsolete Windows systems or legacy application stacks retaining WMP 6.4 and 3ivx 4.5.1 or 5.0.1. The structured affected-product metadata is incomplete, so asset inventory must confirm actual codec and player presence. Treat this as a legacy-risk cleanup item with high impact if present. It should not displace urgent internet-facing vulnerabilities unless inventory shows affected systems still handling external media files. Mitigation focus: Inventory and remove WMP 6.4 and affected 3ivx codec versions where found.; Check Microsoft and 3ivx guidance for supported replacement or retirement options.; Restrict legacy media players from opening untrusted MP4 files..
