What is CVE-2010-4588?

The issue arises from a flaw in the WBEMSingleView.ocx ActiveX control found within Microsoft WMI Administrative Tools, specifically version 1.50.1131.0 and earlier. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely by sending crafted arguments to the ReleaseContext method. This differs from other related vulnerabilities and potentially leads to an untrusted pointer dereference, increasing the risk of unauthorized system access or data manipulation.
