| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS12-078, 2783534) for 'Vulnerability in Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers Could Allow Remote Code Execution' has not been applied.
This security update resolves one publicly disclosed vulnerability and one privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The more severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted document or visits a malicious webpage that embeds TrueType or OpenType font files. An attacker would have to convince users to visit the website, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message that takes them to the attacker's website.
- OpenType Font Parsing Vulnerability (CVE-2012-2556)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that affected components handle a specially crafted OpenType font file.
