DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error in the
Microsoft Agent ActiveX control when processing .ACF files. This can
be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted .ACF
file.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when e.g.
a malicious website is visited with Internet Explorer.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
