CVE-2017-8696	Microsoft Graphics Component Remote Code Execution	Windows 7	Critical	13-09-2017

Technical Information

Brief overview of the risk:
A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to the way Windows Uniscribe handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take control of the affected system.

Detailed Information on the risk:

In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted website designed to exploit this vulnerability and then convince a user to view the website. An attacker would have no way to force users to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to take action, typically by getting them to click a link in an email or instant message that takes users to the attacker’s website, or by opening an attachment sent through email.
