Microsoft Media Player 6.4 Patch 33995

Microsoft Media Player 6.4 Patch 33995 is a patch which is to assist the use of Active Stream Redirector (.ASX) files for playing streaming media that resides on intranet or Internet sites. However, the code that parses .ASX files has an unchecked buffer, and this could potentially enable a malicious user to run code of his choice on the machine of another user. The malicious user could either send an affected file to another user and entice her to run or preview it, or he could host such a file on a web site and cause it to launch automatically whenever a user visited the site. The code could take any action on the machine that the legitimate user herself could take.
