DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows and Visual
Studio, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
users system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a memory corruption in the MFC
component when handling OLE objects in Rich Text Format (RTF) files.
This can be exploited by e.g. tricking a user into opening a
malicious RTF document using Wordpad and interact with a specially
crafted embedded OLE object.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
