| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS15-044, 3057110) for 'Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Font Drivers Could Allow Remote Code Execution' has not been applied.
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows, Microsoft .NET Framework, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Lync, and Microsoft Silverlight. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted document or visits an untrusted webpage that contains embedded TrueType fonts.
- OpenType Font Parsing Vulnerability(CVE-2015-1670)
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows when the Windows DirectWrite library improperly handles OpenType fonts. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially read data which was not intended to be disclosed. Note that this vulnerability would not allow an attacker to execute code or to elevate their user rights directly, but it could be used to obtain information that could be used to try to further compromise the affected system.
- TrueType Font Parsing Vulnerability(CVE-2015-1671)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists when components of Windows, .NET Framework, Office, Lync, and Silverlight fail to properly handle TrueType fonts. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
* 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.
