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.
