According to the Symantec Security Response Team, that vulnerability allows an attacker to overwrite kernel memory and thereby bypass security restrictions, install a rootkit or carry out other nefarious activities. At least one exploit is known to be in the wild. Macrovision has already released an updated driver. It is based on the Vista version which is not affected by the flaw. The second vulnerability only affects Windows Server 2003. Microsoft describes it only as a spoofing vulnerability. Microsoft will also release an updated version of the Malicious Software Removal Tool, plus three high-priority, non-security updates apparently for products other than Windows itself.
