The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain a user's NTLMv2 authentication hash.
The vulnerability exists due to a failure to warn users of unsafe actions in Microsoft Office Outlook when opening a specially crafted message file. A remote attacker can convince a user to open the file, causing Outlook to connect to an attacker-controlled network location without displaying the usual external-content warning, to obtain the user's NTLMv2 authentication hash.
The Preview Pane is not an exploitation vector.
Note, the vulnerability is being exploited in the wild.
