Description: A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to an integer underflow in the Vector Markup Language (VML) implementation (vgx.dll) when processing compressed content referenced from VML. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow during when a user e.g. visits a malicious website using Internet Explorer. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. Solution: Apply patches.
