Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-0761 is an information disclosure flaw in Microsoft’s Windows Embedded OpenType font engine. The provided sources name Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 as affected. Business risk depends on whether those systems remain in use and encounter untrusted embedded fonts. Exposure is most likely where Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 systems remain deployed and process content containing embedded fonts. The source bundle does not identify other Microsoft products or versions as affected. Handle as an exposure-management item for legacy Windows systems. It is not supported by the supplied evidence as an emergency, but affected systems processing untrusted content should be prioritized for vendor-guided remediation. Mitigation focus: Inventory Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 assets.; Review the Microsoft MSRC advisory for applicable updates or workarounds.; Limit exposure to untrusted embedded font content where practical..
