Technical Information

Brief overview of the risk:
The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted document or visits an untrusted webpage that contains embedded OpenType fonts.

Detailed Information on the risk:

An elevation of privilege exists in Microsoft Windows when the Windows Adobe Type Manager Library improperly handles specially crafted OpenType fonts.
