CVSS v3.1 |
| A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Internet Explorer improperly accesses objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, the attacker could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
An attacker could host a specially crafted website designed to exploit the vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the website. The attacker could also take advantage of compromised websites, or websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements, by adding specially crafted content that could exploit the vulnerability. However, in all cases an attacker would have no way to force a user to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince a user to take action, typically by an enticement in an email or instant message, or by getting the user to open an attachment sent through email.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by modifying how Internet Explorer handles objects in memory. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath6kl: fix OOB read from firmware num_msg in TX complete handler
The firmware-controlled num_msg field (u8, 0-255) drives the loop in
ath6kl_wmi_tx_complete_event_rx() without validation against the buffer
length. This allows out-of-bounds reads of up to 1020 bytes past the
WMI event buffer when the firmware sends an inflated num_msg.
Add a check that the buffer is large enough to hold the fixed struct
and the num_msg variable-length entries. |

The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows handles objects in memory. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath6kl: fix OOB read from firmware IE lengths in connect event
The firmware-controlled beacon_ie_len, assoc_req_len, and assoc_resp_len
fields in ath6kl_wmi_connect_event_rx() are not validated against the
buffer length. Their sum (up to 765) can exceed the actual WMI event
data, causing out-of-bounds reads during IE parsing and state corruption
of wmi->is_wmm_enabled.
Add a check that the total IE length fits within the buffer. |
| An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Runtime improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in an elevated context.
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by running a specially crafted application on the victim system.

| An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the user’s system.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an affected system and run a specially crafted application. The vulnerability would not allow an attacker to execute code or to elevate user rights directly, but it could be used to obtain information that could be used to try to further compromise the affected system.
The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows kernel handles objects in memory. |
| An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Print Spooler service improperly allows arbitrary writing to the file system. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code with elevated system privileges. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an affected system and run a specially crafted script or application.
The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows Print Spooler Component writes to the file system. |
| A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft SharePoint Server when it fails to properly identify and filter unsafe ASP.Net web controls. An authenticated attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could use a specially crafted page to perform actions in the security context of the SharePoint application pool process.
To exploit the vulnerability, an authenticated user must create and invoke a specially crafted page on an affected version of Microsoft SharePoint Server.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft SharePoint Server handles processing of created content. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: carl9170: bound memcpy length in cmd callback to prevent OOB read
When the firmware sends a command response with a length mismatch,
carl9170_cmd_callback() logs the mismatch and calls carl9170_restart()
but then falls through to memcpy(ar->readbuf, buffer + 4, len - 4).
Since len comes from the firmware and can exceed ar->readlen, this
copies more data than the readbuf was allocated for.
Bound the memcpy to min(len - 4, ar->readlen) so that the response
is still completed -- avoiding repeated restarts from queued garbage --
while preventing an overread past the response buffer. |
| An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows Media Service that allows file creation in arbitrary locations.

| A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Windows handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute arbitrary code with elevated permissions on a target system.
To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker who has a domain user account could create a specially crafted request, causing Windows to execute arbitrary code with elevated permissions.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows handles objects in memory. |
| An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Microsoft Edge does not properly enforce cross-domain policies, which could allow an attacker to access information from one domain and inject it into another domain.
In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website that is used to attempt to exploit the vulnerability. In addition, compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content could contain specially crafted content that could exploit the vulnerability. However, in all cases an attacker would have no way to force users to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to take action. For example, an attacker could trick users into clicking a link that takes them to the attacker's site. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could elevate privileges in affected versions of Microsoft Edge.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by helping to ensure that cross-domain policies are properly enforced in Microsoft Edge. |
