DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Windows Live Mail, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application loading libraries
(e.g. dwmapi.dll) in an insecure manner. This can be exploited to
load arbitrary libraries by tricking a user into e.g. opening an EML
file located on a remote WebDAV or SMB share.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2009 build 14.0.8117.0416.
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted files.
