Description A remote code execution issue exists due to the improper handling of TrueType fonts in components of Windows, .NET Framework, Office, Lync, and Silverlight.

Recommendations For Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, Windows RT Gold and 8.1, update to a version that properly handles TrueType fonts.
