Re: Riched20.DLL attribute label buffer overflow vulnerability

Since RTF files are opened and rendered automatically by Outlook Express
and
Internet Explorer, this is remotely exploitable through mail and web.

There are still unfixed buffer overflows (i.e. an <a href=""> overflow,
http://securenetwork.it/szanero/bug-oe-2.htm) that can be remotely triggered
to crash outlook express, so this is not really something new.

It simply seems that if a bug does not allow remote code execution, it is
not something worth MS attention.
