Microsoft has released a Security Advisory regarding a vulnerability in the Microsoft Graphics component that affects 
Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft Lync. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a 
user to preview or open a specially crafted email message, open a specially crafted file, or browse specially crafted 
web content. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain the same user rights as the 
current user.

US-CERT encourages users and administrators to review the Security Advisory [ 
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2896666 ] and follow best practice security policies to determine 
if their organization is affected and the appropriate response.
