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

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the Microsoft
Color Management System (MSCMS) module of the Microsoft ICM (Image
Color Management) component when parsing images. This can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially
crafted image file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code when a
user e.g. views a specially crafted image or Office document
embedding such a file.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
