Security investigate regarding CVE-2014-3735
Hi,

We are working on one of issue reported by one of Security Scan tool, which says that our windows server machine is vulnerable in some versions of Intel Indeo Video that could lead to a denial of service attack.

The flaw lies in ir41_32.ax and can be exploit by a remote attacker and could result in a denial of service condition.After further investigation we got to know its effected version '4.51.16.3'.

But as we are using Windows Server 2008 R2 I am not sure this can be exploited or not, because as per

the problem does NOT exist on Windows Server 2008.

Hi,

As far as I know, ir41_32.ax 4.51.16.3 for Intel Indeo Video 4.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted .avi file.

If you are not using the above version of Intel Indeo Video, then systems are not affected.

In addition, it is recommended to keep Windows machines fully patched.
