Vulnerability Details
Microsoft RichEdit Vulnerability - CVE-2006-1311:
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the RichEdit
components provided with Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office. An
attacker could exploit this vulnerability when a user interacts with a
malformed embedded OLE object within a Rich Text Format (RTF) file.
If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker
who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete
control of an affected system. An attacker could then install
programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with
full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer
user rights on the system could be less affected than users who
operate with administrative user rights.
