I am running windows 2003 SP1 and I just finished scanning my server
with nessus 2.2.5. I ran a nessus-update-plugins at 1:34PM central time
today. I then ran the scan and this popped up:
Warning found on port microsoft-ds (445/tcp)
The remote host is running a version Windows Media Player 9 or
Windows Media
Player 10 which contains a vulnerability which may allow an
attacker to infect
the remote host with spyware.
An attacker may exploit this flaw by crafting malformed WMP
files which will
cause Windows Media Player to redirect the users to a rogue
website when
attempting to acquire a license to read the file.

Risk factor : Medium
BID : 13607
Nessus ID : 18085
The microsoft kb article is a little confusing in that the article lists
wmp 9 on windows 2003 and wmp 10 on xp as vulnerable, but the article
makes no mention of wmp 10 on windows 2003 sp1. Is wmp 10 on windows
2003 affect or not?
Thanks,
Jason
