| Summary: | Multiple Microsoft Windows-based applications that have the ability to display Rich Text Format (RTF) files are vulnerable to a denial of service attack, caused by a buffer overflow in the riched20.dll file, which is the Rich Text Edit Control for Windows. By creating a malicious RTF file with an attribute label of more than 1024 bytes, a remote could overflow a buffer and cause the affected application to crash, once the file is opened. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious RTF email, or hosting a malicious RTF file on a Web site, or on a network share. | ||||||
