Description: iDEFENSE Labs has reported a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the Step-by-Step Interactive Training component when handling bookmark link files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted bookmark link file containing an overly long string in the "User" field. Successful exploitation requires that the user e.g. visits a malicious web site or opens a malicious attachment. Do you have this product installed on your home computer? Scan using the free Personal Software Inspector. Check if a vulnerable version is installed on computers in your corporate network, using the Network Software Inspector. Solution: Apply patches.
