Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Windows Vista SP2 Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1 Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 Microsoft Windows 8.1 Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2 Microsoft Windows RT 8.1 Microsoft Windows 10 Gold and 1511

Description The issue exists due to insufficient input validation in the Adobe Type Manager Library. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code via a crafted OpenType font. For systems except Windows 10, successful exploitation allows remote code execution. For Windows 10 systems, exploitation allows code execution in an AppContainer sandbox context with limited privileges, enabling the attacker to install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights.

Recommendations For Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue. For Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue. For Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue. For Microsoft Windows 8.1, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue. For Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue. For Microsoft Windows RT 8.1, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue. For Microsoft Windows 10 Gold and 1511, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of specially crafted fonts until a patch is available.
