## Description

Multiple integer overflows in the Graphics Rendering Engine (GDI32.DLL) in Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 SP1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted Windows Metafile (WMF) and Enhanced Metafile (EMF) format images that lead to heap-based buffer overflows, as demonstrated using MRBP16::bCheckRecord.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
