Description

Microsoft Outlook 2003 contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to bypass security setting. By embedding an OLE object with reference to a Windows media file in a RTF message, a remote attacker could be able to start a download sequence of arbitrary files, which normally causes Internet Explorer to prompt whether to download the file. It is possible that the flaw may allow the launch of arbitrary files without any warning, resulting in a loss of integrity.
