OneNote Remote Code Execution Vulnerability - CVE-2014-2815
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft OneNote
parses specially crafted files. An attacker who successfully exploited this
vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If
the current 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.
To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities
