MS Security Bulletin MS04-023: Vulnerability in HTML Help Could Allow Code Execution

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-023: Vulnerability in HTML Help Could Allow Code Execution (840315):
"This update resolves two newly-discovered vulnerabilities. The HTML Help vulnerability was privately reported and the showHelp vulnerability is public. Each vulnerability is documented in this bulletin in its own Vulnerability Details section.

If a user is logged on with administrative privileges, an attacker who successfully exploited the most severe of these vulnerabilities could take complete control of an affected system, including installing programs; viewing, changing, or deleting data; or creating new accounts that have full privileges. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer privileges on the system would be at less risk than users who operate with administrative privileges."
