**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Microsoft Hyperlink Object Library (hlink.dll) (affected versions not specified) **Description** The issue is related to a remote code execution problem in the Hyperlink Object Library. It occurs when the library handles hyperlinks and encounters a file with a malformed function. An attacker could exploit this by creating a malicious hyperlink. If a user clicks on this link within an Office file or email message, it could lead to remote code execution. The attacker could then take complete control of the affected system. User interaction is required for exploitation. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
