Security News > 2020 > March > Hackers Target Two Unpatched Flaws in Windows Adobe Type Manager Library
Microsoft informed customers on Monday that it's working on patches for two Windows zero-day vulnerabilities that can be exploited for remote code execution.
According to Microsoft, the vulnerabilities exist due to the way the Windows Adobe Type Manager library handles a "Specially-crafted multi-master font - Adobe Type 1 PostScript format."
Adobe told SecurityWeek that the impacted library is exclusively supported by Microsoft and Adobe product users are not at risk.
An attacker can exploit the flaws by convincing the targeted user to open a specially crafted document or viewing it in the Windows Preview pane, which has been described as an attack vector for these vulnerabilities.
Microsoft will create a patch for Windows 7, which reached end of life in January, but it will only be made available to users with an Extended Security Update license.
