What is CVE-2004-1305?

The vulnerability in the Windows Animated Cursor feature allows remote attackers to exploit specific frame and rate parameters, leading to potential denial of service. By manipulating the frame number to zero, attackers can cause an invalid memory address to be triggered, resulting in a kernel crash. Similarly, setting the rate number to zero can lead to resource exhaustion, causing the system to hang indefinitely. This poses a significant risk to system stability, particularly for users operating on specified Windows versions.
