The vulnerability affects the Windows Adobe Type Manager Library component. This module manages OpenType fonts, used by Adobe and Microsoft. These fonts used in a specific document and on the web can exploit this flaw. A hacker would then be able to enter a computer and take control. "This security update resolves a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows problem. This vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted document or to harm him if he visits a non-secure web page containing OpenType fonts." wrote Microsoft. These fonts used by websites designers are very present on the canvas.

This flaw was found among the 400 GB of data retrieved during the hacking servers of security firm Hacking Team. Data made public and therefore accessible to everyone. No panic, it appears that this flaw has not been exploited and once this update applied automatically via Windows update, your computer will be protected.
