Revision Note: V1.0 (May 14, 2013): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Lync. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if an attacker shares a specially crafted program in a Lync or Communicator session and convinces a user to accept an invitation to launch the program content. In all cases, an attacker would have no way to force users to view or share the attacker-controlled file or program. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to take action, typically by getting them to accept an invitation in Lync or Communicator to view or share the presentable content.
