Vulnerability Details
ART Image Rendering Vulnerability - CVE-2006-2378:
There is a remote code execution vulnerability in the way that Windows handles ART images. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted ART image that could potentially allow remote code execution if a user visited a Web site or viewed a specially crafted e-mail message. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.
Mitigating Factors for ART Image Rendering Vulnerability - CVE-2006-2378:
- In a Web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a Web site that contains a Web page that is used to exploit this vulnerability. In addition, compromised Web sites and Web sites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements could contain specially crafted content that could exploit this vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit these Web sites. Instead, an attacker would have to persuade users to visit the Web site, typically by getting them to click a link in an e-mail message or instant messenger message that takes users to the attacker's Web site.
- An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
- Windows 2000 does not support AOL ART images by default. Windows 2000 is only affected if the Windows 2000 AOL Image Support Update has been installed. The files being updated with this security update does not exist on a Windows 2000 system without this AOL Image Support Update.
Workarounds for ART Image Rendering Vulnerability - CVE-2006-2378:
Microsoft has tested the following workarounds. Although these workarounds will not correct the underlying vulnerability, they help block known attack vectors. When a workaround reduces functionality, it is identified in the following section.
Modify the Access Control List on the AOL ART files to temporarily prevent them from being displayed in Internet Explorer
To modify the Access Control List (ACL) on the AOL ART files to be more restrictive, follow these steps:Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
Type the following commands at a command prompt. Make a note of the current files ACLs, including inheritance settings. You may need this list if you have to undo these modifications:
cacls %windir%\system32\jgdw400.dll cacls %windir%\system32\jgpl400.dllType the following command at a command prompt to deny the ‘everyone’ group access to this file:
echo y|cacls %windir%\system32\jgdw400.dll /d everyone echo y|cacls %windir%\system32\jgpl400.dll /d everyoneClose Internet Explorer, and reopen it for the changes to take effect.
Impact of Workaround: Applications and Web sites that contain AOL ART files will no longer display those images.To regain functionality, you must undo the modifications to the Access Control List on the AOL ART files.
Install Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-021, Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (916281)
After installation of Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-021: Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (916281), ART files will no longer be displayed in Internet Explorer.
FAQ for ART Image Rendering Vulnerability - CVE-2006-2378:
What is the scope of the vulnerability?
This is a remote code execution vulnerability. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
What causes the vulnerability?
An unchecked buffer in the ART image rendering library causes this vulnerability.
What is ART?
ART is an image file format used by the America Online (AOL) client software. Windows also includes the library and Internet Explorer displays ART images.
Note After installation of Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-021: Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (916281), ART files will no longer be displayed in Internet Explorer. We recommend installing both updates.
What might an attacker use the vulnerability to do?
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of the affected system.
How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?
An attacker could host a specially crafted Web site or HTML e-mail message that is designed to exploit this vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then persuade a user to view the Web site or HTML e-mail message. This can also include Web sites that accept user-provided content or advertisements, Web sites that host user-provided content or advertisements, and compromised Web sites. These Web sites could contain specially crafted content that could exploit this vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit these Web sites. Instead, an attacker would have to persuade users to visit the Web site, typically by getting them to click a link in an e-mail message or in an Instant Messenger request that takes users to the attacker's Web site. It could also be possible to display specially crafted Web content by using banner advertisements or by using other methods to deliver Web content to affected systems.
What systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerability?
Workstations and terminal servers are primarily at risk. Servers could be at more risk if users who do not have sufficient administrative permissions are given the ability to log on to servers and to run programs. However, best practices strongly discourage allowing this.
Windows 2000 does not support AOL ART images by default. Windows 2000 is only affected if the Windows 2000 AOL Image Support Update has been installed.
Are Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows Millennium Edition critically affected by this vulnerability?
Yes. Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Millennium Edition are critically affected by the vulnerabilities that are addressed in this security bulletin. Critical security updates for these platforms are available, are provided as part of this security bulletin, and can be downloaded only from the Windows Update Web site. For more information about severity ratings, visit the following Web site.
What does the update do?
The update removes the vulnerability by modifying the way that the ART image rendering library validates the length of a message before it passes the message to the allocated buffer.
When this security bulletin was issued, had this vulnerability been publicly disclosed?
No. Microsoft received information about this vulnerability through responsible disclosure.
When this security bulletin was issued, had Microsoft received any reports that this vulnerability was being exploited?
No. Microsoft had not received any information to indicate that this vulnerability had been publicly used to attack customers and had not seen any examples of proof of concept code published when this security bulletin was originally issued.

For more information about how to deploy security updates by using Software Update Services, visit the Software Update Services Web site.
Windows Server Update Services:
By using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), administrators can quickly and reliably deploy the latest critical updates and security updates for Windows 2000 operating systems and later, Office XP and later, Exchange Server 2003, and SQL Server 2000 onto Windows 2000 and later operating systems.
For more information about how to deploy security updates using Windows Server Update Services, visit the Windows Server Update Services Web site.
Systems Management Server:
Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) delivers a highly configurable enterprise solution for managing updates. By using SMS, administrators can identify Windows-based systems that require security updates and can perform controlled deployment of these updates throughout the enterprise with minimal disruption to end users. For more information about how administrators can use SMS 2003 to deploy security updates, visit the SMS 2003 Security Patch Management Web site. SMS 2.0 users can also use Software Updates Service Feature Pack to help deploy security updates. For information about SMS, visit the SMS Web site.
Note SMS uses the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer, the Microsoft Office Detection Tool, and the Enterprise Update Scanning Tool to provide broad support for security bulletin update detection and deployment. Some software updates may not be detected by these tools. Administrators can use the inventory capabilities of the SMS in these cases to target updates to specific systems. For more information about this procedure, visit the following Web site. Some security updates require administrative rights following a restart of the system. Administrators can use the Elevated Rights Deployment Tool (available in the SMS 2003 Administration Feature Pack and in the SMS 2.0 Administration Feature Pack) to install these updates.
