| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS11-007, 2485376) for 'Vulnerability in the OpenType Compact Font Format (CFF) Driver Could Allow Remote Code Execution' has not been applied.
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in the Windows OpenType Compact Font Format (CFF) driver. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user views content rendered in a specially crafted CFF font. In all cases, an attacker would have no way to force users to view the specially crafted content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit a Web site, typically by getting them to click a link in an e-mail message or Instant Messenger message that takes users to the attacker's Web site.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the manner in which the Windows OpenType Compact Font Format (CFF) driver validates the parameter values of specially crafted OpenType fonts.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
