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

The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the shell
(explorer.exe) when handling file and directory names and can be
exploited via e.g. a specially crafted email attachment.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires tricking a user into opening a malicious file.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
