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

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when verifying
attachments that are attached using the ATTACH_BY_REFERENCE value of
the PR_ATTACH_METHOD property in a specially crafted e-mail message.
This can be exploited to spoof a malicious attachment to appear to
not pose a security threat.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code if a user
is tricked into opening the attachment.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
