MS10-091: Vulnerabilities in the OpenType Font (OTF) Driver Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2296199)

high Nessus Plugin ID 51163

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a font driver that allows arbitrary code execution.

Description

The remote Windows host contains a version of the OpenType Font (OTF) Format Driver that is affected by two vulnerabilities :

 - The driver does not properly index an array when parsing OpenType fonts, which could allow a remote attacker to run arbitrary code in kernel mode.
 (CVE-2010-3956)

 - The driver does not properly reset a pointer when freeing memory, resulting in a 'double free' condition, which could allow a remote attacker to run arbitrary code in kernel mode. (CVE-2010-3957)

 - The driver does not properly parse the CMAP table when rendering a specially crafted OpenType font, which could allow a local attacker to run arbitrary code in kernel mode. (CVE-2010-3959)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, 7, and 2008 R2.
