CVE-2015-2464 is a critical TrueType font parsing vulnerability affecting numerous Microsoft products, including Windows operating systems, Office suites, Lync, Silverlight, and .NET Framework versions. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw by enticing a user to open a specially crafted TrueType font, leading to arbitrary code execution. With a CVSS score of 9.3, this vulnerability is highly severe due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
