Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities were reported in Microsoft Windows Adobe Font Driver. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system. A remote user can cause denial of service conditions on the target system. A remote user can obtain potentially sensitive information.
A remote user can create a specially crafted file or HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a memory allocation error and cause denial of service conditions on the target user's system [CVE-2015-0074].
A remote user can create a specially crafted file or HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will obtain information from system memory [CVE-2015-0087, CVE-2015-0089]. This information can be used in conjunction with a separate vulnerability to bypass Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) security features.
A remote user can create a specially crafted file or HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system [ CVE-2015-0088, CVE-2015-0090, CVE-2015-0091, CVE-2015-0092, CVE-2015-0093].
