VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36938/

DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Windows, 
which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

1) An unspecified error in Windows Media Runtime within the
processing of Advanced Systems Format (ASF) files can be 
exploited to
execute arbitrary code e.g. when a user opens a specially 
crafted
audio file.

2) A vulnerability is caused due to Microsoft Windows Media 
Runtime
not properly initialising certain functions when processing
compressed audio files. This can be exploited to corrupt memory 
when
a user opens a specially crafted media file or receives 
specially
crafted streaming content from a web site.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
