Microsoft Releases January Security Bulletin

Original release date: January 12, 2010 at 2:07 pm
Last revised: January 12, 2010 at 2:07 pm


Microsoft has released an update to address a vulnerability in
Microsoft Windows in its Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for
January 2010. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to execute
arbitrary code. An attacker may be able to exploit this vulnerability
by convincing a user to view content rendered in a specially crafted
Embedded OpenType (EOT) font in an application that can render EOT
fonts. Common applications that can render EOT fonts include Microsoft
Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office Word, and Microsoft Office
PowerPoint.

US-CERT encourages users and administrators to review the bulletin and
apply any necessary updates to help mitigate the risks.
