**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** The user would have to click on a specially crafted URL to be compromised by the attacker.

**According to the CVSS metric, the Attack Vector is Physical (AV:P). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker needs physical access to the target computer to plug in a malicious USB drive.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** Exploiting this vulnerability could allow the disclosure of certain memory address within kernel space. Knowing the exact location of kernel memory could be potentially leveraged by an attacker for other malicious activities.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** An attacker would have to send the victim a malicious file that the victim would have to execute.

**Use Microsoft Outlook to reduce the risk of users opening RTF Files from unknown or untrusted sources** To help protect against this vulnerability, we recommend users read email messages in plain text format. For guidance on how to configure Microsoft Outlook to read all standard mail in plain text, please refer to Read email messages in plain text. **Impact of workaround:** Email messages that are viewed in plain text format will not contain pictures, specialized fonts, animations, or other rich content. In addition, the following behavior may be experienced: * The changes are applied to the preview pane and to open messages. * Pictures become attachments so that they are not lost. * Because the message is still in Rich Text or HTML format in the store, the object model (custom code solutions) may behave unexpectedly.
