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.
