Patch Tuesday: MS Issues Two Fixes
Ed Oswald writes on BetaNews:
Microsoft issued two more critical patches as part of its regular Patch Tuesday security update, including a fix for a vulnerability when viewing embedded Web fonts and a flaw in the decoding of TNEF messages. The company included its WMF fix with the monthly security updates, although a patch for the issue has been available since January 5.
The first patch fixes a problem in how Windows displays embedded Web fonts. The flaw could enable malformed fonts to be used as a way to execute code on a remote system. The vulnerability could be exploited through either a malicious Web site or specially crafted e-mail message, Microsoft said.
