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

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the Unicode Scripts
Processor (usp10.dll) component when validating a table in the
OpenType font layout. This can be exploited to corrupt memory via
e.g. a specially crafted document or web page viewed in an
application supporting embedded OpenType fonts.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
