Special detection CVE-2011-3402

The exploit EXP/CVE-2011-3402 is targeting the True-Type-Font parsing engine which is run in kernel-mode. This fact makes this exploit very dangerous as an attacker can gain system level privileges.

An exploitation gives the attacker the ability to install programs/drivers, view, change, or delete data or he could create new accounts with full user rights.

In an e-mail scenario the exploit needs user interaction (for instance by opening a malicious word document) to get executed. The discovered exploit comes in the form of a Microsoft word document.

Other possibilities may include using embedded TTF fonts in other types of files such as PDF.
