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

1) An error exists in the handling of ASF file headers and can be exploited to trigger an invalid call to freed memory e.g. via a specially crafted file or specially crafted streaming content from a web site.

2) An error in the processing of MP3 meta-data can be exploited to corrupt memory e.g. via a specially crafted MP3 file or specially crafted streaming content from a web site.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.
