FKIE_CVE-2008-2547
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2008-06-04 19:32 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:53
Severity
Summary
Stack-based buffer overflow in msiexec.exe 3.1.4000.1823 and 4.5.6001.22159 in Microsoft Windows Installer allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long GUID value for the /x (aka /uninstall) option. NOTE: this issue might cross privilege boundaries if msiexec.exe is reachable via components such as ActiveX controls, and might additionally require a separate vulnerability in the control.
