Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-007

Vulnerability in WebDAV Mini-Redirector Could Allow Remote Code Execution (946026)

Severity: Critical
Vulnerabilities:
  • Mini-Redirector Heap Overflow Vulnerability - CVE-2008-0080
    A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the WebDAV Mini-Redirector handles responses. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts.

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-008

Vulnerability in OLE Automation Could Allow Remote Code Execution (947890)

Severity: Critical

  • OLE Heap Overrun Vulnerability - CVE-2007-0065
    A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) Automation that could allow an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability to make changes to the system with the permissions of the logged-on user. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take complete 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.

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-009

Vulnerability in Microsoft Word Could Allow Remote Code Execution (947077)

Severity: Critical
Vulnerabilities:
  • Word Memory Corruption Vulnerability – CVE-2008-0109
    A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Word handles specially crafted Word files. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Word file with a malformed value. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-010

Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (944533)

Severity: Critical
Vulnerabilities:
  • HTML Rendering Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2008-0076
    HTML Rendering Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2008-0076 A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Internet Explorer interprets HTML with certain layout combinations. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web page, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged on user.
  • Property Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2008-0077
    A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Internet Explorer handles a property method. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web page, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged on user.
  • Argument Handling Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2008-0078
    A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Internet Explorer handles argument validation in image processing. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web page, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged on user.
  • ActiveX Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2007-4790
