LONDON, Nov 3, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GFI,
developer of email content checking & network
security software, has discovered a security
flaw within Windows Media Player 7 which allows
a malicious user to run arbitrary code on a
victim's machine as it attempts to view a web
site or an HTML email.

. . .

Windows Media Player 7 is included by default
on Windows Millennium Editions and is available
from Microsoft for free. It includes skinning
capabilities that allow it to change interface.
GFI has found that this can be exploited to
execute code on remote machines.
