Descriptions

win32k.sys in the kernel-mode drivers in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, and Windows RT Gold and 8.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted TrueType font, as exploited in the wild in October 2014, aka "TrueType Font Parsing Remote Code Execution Vulnerability."

win32k.sys en los controladores del modo de kernel en Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 y R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold y R2, y Windows RT Gold y 8.1 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una fuente TrueType manipulada, tal y como fue demostrado activamente en octubre 2014, también conocido como 'vulnerabilidad de la ejecución de código remoto de la analítica sintáctica de fuentes TrueType.'

A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel-mode driver improperly handles TrueType fonts.
