Microsoft Security Advisory (892313)

05-26-2005

Default Setting in Windows Media Player Digital Rights Management Could
Allow a User to Open a Web Page Without Requesting Permission

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec...ry/892313.mspx

Affects Media player 9 and 10

What makes this bad is by using current IE exploits no user interaction
would be required for someone to do bad things. If you download music
or video files ..... be aware.
