Windows Live Movie Maker, which is available for Windows Vista and Windows 7, is not affected by this vulnerability. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if an attacker sent a specially crafted Movie Maker or Microsoft Producer project file and convinced the user to open the specially crafted file. 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. The security update addresses the vulnerability by changing the way that Windows Movie Maker parses project files.

The child process is created. The NTDLL heap lock is marked as acquired by thread “B”. There is no thread “B” in the child. The main thread in the child while coming up tries to take the NTDLL heap lock, and because of the library’s locked state, the process stops responding.

This issue is valid for both mixed-mode and Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications programs.

Warning: Microsoft strongly discourages using fork() calls in multithreaded Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA) .
