DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The problem is caused due to the Microsoft Speech API potentially
allowing execution of arbitrary commands if a specially crafted audio
file issuing voice commands is played via Internet Explorer while the
Speech Recognition feature is enabled.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
