PGP Outlook Plug-In Heap Corruption Vulnerability
A vulnerability has been reported for some versions of PGP that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system. It is possible for an attacker to craft a specially formatted email such that the message decoding functionality of the Outlook Plug-in can be manipulated to overwrite various structures existing on the heap.
This may allow an attacker to execute malicious supplied code on the target system.
