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

The vulnerability is caused due to the Address Book application
(wab.exe) loading libraries (e.g. wab32res.dll) in an insecure
manner. This can be exploited to load arbitrary libraries by tricking
a user into e.g. opening a vCard (.vcf) located on a remote WebDAV or
SMB share.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in a fully patched Windows XP SP3,
Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise SP2, Windows Vista Business SP1,
Windows 7 Professional, and Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP2. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted files.
