MS09-029 - Critical: Vulnerabilities in the Embedded OpenType Font Engine Could Allow Remote Code Execution (961371) - Version:1.1

Posted on 01 August 2009

Critical

Severity Rating: Critical - Revision Note: V1.1 (July 15, 2009): Updated the restart requirement descriptions for all updates in the Update Information section to clarify that in some cases, this update does not require a restart.Summary: This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in a Microsoft Windows component, the Embedded OpenType (EOT) Font Engine. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited either of these vulnerabilities could take complete control of an affected system remotely. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
