Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in T2EMBED.DLL when handling malformed embedded Web fonts. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow and allows execution arbitrary code when a user visits a malicious website or views an e-mail message that contains a specially-crafted embedded Web font.
Solution:
Apply patches.
