Vulnerabilidad en Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 y R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold y R2, Windows RT Gold y 8.1, Windows 10, Office 2007 SP3 y 2010 SP2, Live Meeting 2007 Console, Lync 2010, Lync 2010 Attendee, Lync 2013 SP1, Lync Basic 2013 SP1, Silverlight en versiones anteriores a 5.1.40728 y .NET Framework 3.0 SP2, 3.5, 3.5.1, 4, 4.5, 4.5.1, 4.5.2 y 4.6, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de fuente TrueType manipulada, también conocida como 'TrueType Font Parsing Vulnerability', una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-2456.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Windows. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of the IUP instruction (opcode 0x31) in TrueType fonts. A crafted font can cause point patching to modify arbitrary addresses in the Windows kernel. This can be leveraged by an attacker to run arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.

Researchers have encountered a number of Windows kernel crashes in the win32k!itrp_IUP function (a handler of the IUP[] TTF program instruction) while processing corrupted TTF font files.
