Vulnerabilities

A denial of service vulnerability exists in Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) when an attacker connects to the target system using RDP and sends specially crafted requests. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause the RDP service on the target system to stop responding.<br /> To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to run a specially crafted application against a server which provides Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) services.<br /> The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how RDP handles connection requests.<br />

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Office Click-to-Run (C2R) AppVLP handles certain files. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could elevate privileges.<br /> To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to convince a user to open a specially crafted file.<br /> The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft Office Click-to-Run (C2R) components handle these files.<br />

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Excel software when the software fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.<br /> Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Excel. In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) containing a specially crafted file designed to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or instant message, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file.<br /> The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft Excel handles objects in memory.<br />

A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Microsoft Word software when it fails to properly handle .LNK files. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could use a specially crafted file to perform actions in the security context of the current user. For example, the file could then take actions on behalf of the logged-on user with the same permissions as the current user.<br /> To exploit the vulnerability, a user must open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Word software. In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) that contains a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerability. However, an attacker would have no way to force the user to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince the user to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message, and then convince the user to open the specially crafted file.<br /> The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft Word handles these files.<br />

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Office Click-to-Run (C2R) AppVLP handles certain files. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could elevate privileges.<br /> To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to convince a user to open a specially crafted file.<br /> The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft Office Click-to-Run (C2R) components handle these files.<br />

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles COM object creation. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code with elevated privileges.<br /> To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability and take control of an affected system.<br /> The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows COM Server creates COM objects.<br />

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Backup Service improperly handles file operations.<br /> To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to gain execution on the victim system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application to elevate privileges.<br /> The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows Backup Service handles file operations.<br />

An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the .NET Framework improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could disclose contents of an affected system&amp;#39;s memory.<br /> To exploit the vulnerability, an authenticated attacker would need to run a specially crafted application.<br /> The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the .NET Framework handles objects in memory.<br />

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Group Policy improperly checks access. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an elevated context.<br /> To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system, and then run a specially crafted application to take control over the affected system.<br /> The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Group Policy checks access.<br />

An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Microsoft SharePoint Server improperly discloses its folder structure when rendering specific web pages. An attacker who took advantage of this information disclosure could view the folder path of scripts loaded on the page.<br /> To take advantage of the vulnerability, an attacker would require access to the specific SharePoint page affected by this vulnerability.<br /> The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how scripts are referenced on some SharePoint pages.<br />

An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Microsoft SharePoint Server improperly discloses its folder structure when rendering specific web pages. An attacker who took advantage of this information disclosure could view the folder path of scripts loaded on the page.<br /> To take advantage of the vulnerability, an attacker would require access to the specific SharePoint page affected by this vulnerability.<br /> The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how scripts are referenced on some SharePoint pages.<br />

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce. An unauthenticated attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could update data without proper authorization.<br /> To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would need to send a specially crafted request to an affected server.<br /> The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce performs authorization checks.<br />
