Vulnerability Details:

Windows Embedded Web Font Vulnerability - CVE-2006-0010:

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Windows because of the way
that it handles malformed embedded Web fonts. An attacker could exploit the
vulnerability by constructing a malicious embedded Web font that could
potentially allow remote code execution if a user visited a malicious Web
site or viewed a specially crafted e-mail message. An attacker who successfully
exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.
