The kernel-mode drivers in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2, R2, and R2 SP1, Windows 7 Gold and SP1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, and Windows RT, as used by Google Chrome before 22.0.1229.79 and other programs, do not properly handle objects in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted TrueType font file, aka "Windows Font Parsing Vulnerability" or "TrueType Font Parsing Vulnerability."

The remote Windows host is affected by the following remote code execution vulnerabilities:

  - Two use-after-free vulnerabilities exist within Windows     kernel-mode drivers. (CVE-2012-2530, CVE-2012-2553)

  - A TrueType Font Parsing vulnerability exists due to the     way TrueType font files are handled. (CVE-2012-2897)

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 22.0.1229.79 and is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Out-of-bounds write errors exist related to Skia and     the PDF viewer. (CVE-2012-2874, CVE-2012-2883,     CVE-2012-2895)

  - Various, unspecified errors exist related to the PDF     viewer. (CVE-2012-2875)

  - A buffer overflow error exists related to 'SSE2'     optimizations. (CVE-2012-2876)

  - An unspecified error exists related to extensions and     modal dialogs that can allow application crashes.
    (CVE-2012-2877)

  - Use-after-free errors exist related to plugin handling,     'onclick' handling, 'SVG' text references and the PDF     viewer. (CVE-2012-2878, CVE-2012-2887, CVE-2012-2888,     CVE-2012-2890)

  - An error exists related to 'DOM' topology corruption.
    (CVE-2012-2879)

  - Race conditions exist in the plugin paint buffer.
    (CVE-2012-2880)

  - 'DOM' tree corruption can occur with plugins.
    (CVE-2012-2881)

  - A pointer error exists related to 'OGG' container     handling. (CVE-2012-2882)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists related to Skia.
    (CVE-2012-2884)

  - The possibility of a double-free error exists related to     application exit. (CVE-2012-2885)

  - Universal cross-site scripting issues exist related     to the v8 JavaScript engine bindings and frame     handling. (CVE-2012-2886, CVE-2012-2889)

  - Address information can be leaked via inter process     communication (IPC). (CVE-2012-2891)

  - A bypass error exists related to pop-up block.
    (CVE-2012-2892)

  - A double-free error exists related to 'XSL' transforms.
    (CVE-2012-2893)

  - An error exists related to graphics context handling.
    (CVE-2012-2894)

  - An unspecified memory corruption issue exists in the     Windows 7 kernel, as used by Google Chrome.
    (CVE-2012-2897)

Successful exploitation of any of these issues could lead to an application crash or even allow arbitrary code execution, subject to the user's privileges.
