Descriptions

An information disclosure vulnerability exists when attaching files to Outlook messages. This vulnerability could potentially allow users to share attached files such that they are accessible by anonymous users where they should be restricted to specific users.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to attach a file as a link to an email. The email could then be shared with individuals that should not have access to the files, ignoring the default organizational setting.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Outlook handles file attachment links.

Se presenta una vulnerabilidad de divulgación de información al adjuntar archivos a mensajes de Outlook, también se conoce como "Microsoft Outlook Information Disclosure Vulnerability".

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Microsoft Outlook. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must open a malicious email.
The specific flaw exists within the rendering of emails. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated data structure. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
