Discussion
Microsoft Windows Kernel 'Win32k.sys' TrueType Font Parsing Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Microsoft Windows is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability that affects the kernel.
To exploit this issue, an attacker may entice an unsuspecting user into visiting a malicious webpage.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. Successful exploits will completely compromise affected computers.
Note: This issue was previously discussed in BID 55676 (Google Chrome Prior to 22.0.1229.79 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it.
