KB972270

January 12th, 2010 · No Comments · 810 views

UpdatesDescription: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user viewed content rendered in a specially crafted Embedded OpenType (EOT) font in client applications that can render EOT fonts, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office PowerPoint, or Microsoft Office Word. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way that the Embedded OpenType Font Engine decompresses specially crafted files and content containing embedded fonts.

UpdatesDescription: This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in a Microsoft Windows component, the Embedded OpenType (EOT) Font Engine. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited either of these vulnerabilities could take complete control of an affected system remotely. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way that the Microsoft Windows EOT component parses files and content containing embedded fonts. Keep reading →

On a computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, you right-click the %SystemRoot%\fonts folder, and then you select the Install New Font option to install some PostScript fonts. In the Add Fonts dialog box that appears, you browse to the folder in which the font files are located. (In the Add Fonts dialog box, you can select the fonts to install from the List of fonts list.) However, if there are more than 100 font files in the folder, for every 100 files that are added to the list, the first font file in the list disappears from the List of fonts box.

Notes For example, the first file disappears when there are 101 files. The first two files disappear when there are 201 files. The first three files disappear when there are 301 files, and so on.
