Description: A vulnerability was reported in the Microsoft Windows Shell. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A remote user can create a shortcut file ('.lnk' file) with specially crafted properties such that when the file is loaded by the
target user or when the properties are viewed by the target user, arbitrary code will be executed with the privileges of the target
user.
A remote user can also create a specially crafted file containing certain HTML characters. When the file is previewed
by the target user with the Web View feature in Windows Explorer, arbitrary code will be executed with the privileges of the target
user.
The vendor credits Cesar Cerrudo of Argeniss and Brett Moore of security-assessment.com with reporting this vulnerability.
