Today we released the fix for CVE-2010-0266, an Important severity vulnerability in Microsoft Office Outlook. Yorick Koster working with the SSD/SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure program reported this issue. What’s the risk? This vulnerability enables an attacker to spoof a dangerous e-mail attachment to appear legitimate / benign. If a victim user were to open the attachment, code from a remote UNC path could execute without prior warning.
