1. Denial of Service Conditions in Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SMTP Service (MS10-024 CVE-2010-0024)
Microsoft Windows SMTP Service and Microsoft Exchange are vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of DNS Mail Exchanger (MX) resource records by the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol component. As SMTP services are often exposed to the Internet and email is usually considered a business critical function, the business impact of this vulnerability is more significant than for typical Denial of Service issues.

2. Microsoft DirectShow Remote Code Execution (MS10-026 CVE-2010-0480)
Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the MPEG Layer-3 audio codecs when handling malicious files. The vulnerable MPEG Layer-3 audio codecs are the MPEG Layer-3 Audio Codec for Microsoft DirectShow. Successful exploitation of this issue would provide an attacker with complete control over the endpoint target. The use of malicious media files like images and movies has been prevalent in the past years.
