Untrusted search path vulnerability in the Indeo Codec in iac25_32.ax in Microsoft Windows XP SP3 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse iacenc.dll file in the current working directory, as demonstrated by access through BS.Player or Media Player Classic to a directory that contains a .avi, .mka, .ra, or .ram file, aka "Indeo Codec Insecure Library Loading Vulnerability." NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability affects the Indeo Codec on Microsoft Windows XP SP3. A local attacker could place a malicious DLL in a working directory and have the codec load it during media-file handling, potentially gaining higher privileges. It is mainly a legacy Windows risk. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Microsoft Windows XP SP3 systems where the Indeo Codec is present and users or applications handle media files from attacker-controlled directories. Prioritize remediation where Windows XP SP3 remains in production or handles untrusted media. For modern environments without XP SP3, this is mainly a legacy asset-discovery and decommissioning issue. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft MS12-014 guidance to affected Windows XP SP3 systems.; Retire or isolate Windows XP SP3 hosts that cannot be remediated.; Restrict legacy hosts from opening media files from untrusted directories..
