A vulnerability has been identified in Microsoft Windows, which could be exploited by attackers to take complete control of an affected system. This issue is due to a memory corruption error in certain MFC components when parsing OLE objects embedded within RTF files, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by convincing a user to interact with a malformed embedded OLE object within a Rich Text Format (RTF) file.
