Vulnerability Information
OLE Property Vulnerability - CVE-2013-3863
A vulnerability exists in OLE that could lead to remote code execution if a
user opens a file that contains a specially crafted OLE object. An attacker
who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights
as the logged-on user. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights,
an attacker could take complete control of the 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 impacted than users who operate
with administrative user rights.
