successful code execution is unlikely due to memory randomization. In most
scenarios, it is much more likely that an attacker who successfully
exploited this vulnerability could cause the affected system to stop
responding and automatically restart.

We are not aware of attacks that try to use the reported vulnerability or of
customer impact at this time.

Theirs More
Microsoft Windows 7, when running on 64-bit platforms, allows local users
to cause a denial of service (crash), as demonstrated using "Browse with
Irfanview" and certain actions on a folder containing a large number of
thumbnail images in "Resample" mode, possibly related to the ATI graphics
driver, cdd.dll, or win32k.sys.

Please don't post god knows how many individual MS security advisories to
this forum. Geeze... You've got tens of thousands still left that that
have not been posted here.

No, not correct. They both do.

Perhaps, but only the 64 bit build is subject to this vulnerability.

English is not my native tongue; I'm an American.

But it is new and almost specific to Windows 7. And I'd rather read it ten
times in different places than not at all.

And this isn't a forum - it's a newsgroup.

True, and I reply with bottom posting except where the reply to the OP has
been made with top posting. It makes little sense to respond to that reply
with bottom posting, effectively splitting the message into a nonsense order
where you want to keep all the message information.

Don't tell me, tell Microsoft. I was just quoting their advisory.
