CVE-2007-1765

73
FAUCET Score

CVE-2007-1765 is an unspecified vulnerability affecting Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 through Vista, as well as Avaya products, stemming from malformed ANI file processing. This flaw can lead to memory corruption when handling cursors, animated cursors, and icons, potentially enabling remote code execution or a persistent denial of service. With a CVSS score of 9.3, it is considered critical due to its network attack vector, medium attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, multiple Metasploit modules and ExploitDB entries demonstrate exploitability, indicating public availability of exploit code, despite minimal community discussion or media coverage.
