	A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Windows Explorer
	because of the way that Windows Explorer handles Drag and Drop events.

	malicious e-mail message. An attacker who successfully exploited this
	vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. User
	interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability
