Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a users system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in RichEdit components handling of OLE objects in RTF (Rich Text Format) files. This can be exploited to cause a memory corruption by e.g. tricking a user into opening a malicious RTF document using a Microsoft Office application and interact with a specially crafted, embedded OLE object.
