This vulnerability could be exploited when a user opens a specially crafted file. What is the scope of the vulnerability? This is a remote code execution vulnerability in the context of the current user. What causes the vulnerability? The vulnerability is caused when Microsoft OneNote fails to properly handle specially crafted OneNote files. What might an attacker use the vulnerability to do? How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?

Exploitation of this vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft OneNote. In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted file to the user and by convincing the user to open the file in an affected version of Microsoft OneNote. In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website that contains a file that is used to attempt to exploit the vulnerability. In addition, compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content could contain specially crafted content that could exploit this vulnerability.

An attacker would have no way to force users to visit a specially crafted website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince them to visit the website, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or Instant Messenger message that takes them to the attacker's site, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file in an affected version of Microsoft OneNote.

What systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerability? Systems where affected Microsoft Office is used, including workstations and terminal servers, are primarily at risk. Servers could be at more risk if administrators allow users to log on to servers and to run programs.

However, best practices strongly discourage allowing this. What does the update do? This update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way that Microsoft OneNote parses specially crafted files. When this security bulletin was issued, had this vulnerability been publicly disclosed? Microsoft received information about this vulnerability through coordinated vulnerability disclosure.
