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

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in RichEdit components
handling of OLE objects in RTF (Rich Text Format) files. This can be
exploited to cause a memory corruption by e.g. tricking a user into
opening a malicious RTF document using a Microsoft Office application
and interact with a specially crafted, embedded OLE object.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
