Description

 Exchange contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to cause a victim to run arbitrary code. The issue is triggered when a specially crafted mail attachment is sent to a Microsoft Exchange user who is known to access OWA with Internet Explorer. The Outlook Web Access component of Exchange requires that scripting be enabled when using Internet Explorer to access a mailbox, and an attachment can be crafted to contain executable code. It is possible that the flaw may allow arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
