DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or
potentially compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the OpenType Compact
Font Format Driver when parsing OpenType fonts. This can be exploited
by tricking a user into navigating to a network share containing a
specially crafted font file in Windows Explorer (only Vista, Windows
Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2) or visit a
specially crafted web page using a third-party browser that natively
renders OpenType fonts.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbirtary code in
kernel mode.
SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
