Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft DirectX 7.0 and 8.1 on Windows 2000 SP4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange (SAMI) file with crafted parameters for a Class Name variable, aka the "SAMI Format Parsing Vulnerability."
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
