 2012-02-01T00:00:00.0000000Z MS11-100 - Critical : Vulnerabilities in .NET Framework Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (2638420) - Version: 1.3
Severity Rating: Critical
Revision Note: V1.3 (February 1, 2012): Corrected registry keys and installation switches in the deployment tables for Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, and installation switches in the deployment table for Windows Vista. This is an informational change only. There were no changes to the security update files or detection logic.
Summary: This security update resolves one publicly disclosed vulnerability and three privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft .NET Framework. The most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if an unauthenticated attacker sends a specially crafted web request to the target site. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take any action in the context of an existing account on the ASP.NET site, including executing arbitrary commands. In order to exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must be able to register an account on the ASP.NET site, and must know an existing user name.
 2012-02-01T00:00:00.0000000Z MS11-098 - Important : Vulnerability in Windows Kernel Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (2633171) - Version: 1.1
Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.1 (February 1, 2012): Added a link to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 2633171 under Known Issues in the Executive Summary.
Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker logs on to an affected system and runs a specially crafted application designed to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker must have valid logon credentials and be able to log on locally to exploit this vulnerability. The vulnerability could not be exploited remotely or by anonymous users.
 2012-01-27T00:00:00.0000000Z MS12-004 - Critical : Vulnerabilities in Windows Media Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2636391) - Version: 1.2
Severity Rating: Critical
Revision Note: V1.2 (January 27, 2012): Corrected the aggregate severity rating for the KB2631813 update package in the Affected Software table for all supported editions of Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. This is a bulletin change only. There were no changes to the security update files or detection logic. Customers should apply all update packages offered for the software installed on their systems. See the update FAQ for details.
Summary: This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted media file. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the local user. 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.
 2012-01-24T00:00:00.0000000Z MS11-049 - Important : Vulnerability in the Microsoft XML Editor Could Allow Information Disclosure (2543893) - Version: 2.3
Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V2.3 (January 24, 2012): Added an entry to the update FAQ to announce a detection change for KB2251481, KB2251487, and KB2251489 to correct an installation issue. This is a detection change only. There were no changes to the security update files. Customers who have already successfully updated their systems do not need to take any action.
Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft XML Editor. The vulnerability could allow information disclosure if a user opened a specially crafted Web Service Discovery (.disco) file with one of the affected software listed in this bulletin. Note that this vulnerability would not allow an attacker to execute code or to elevate their user rights directly, but it could be used to produce information that could be used to try to further compromise the affected system.
 2012-01-24T00:00:00.0000000Z MS11-025 - Important : Vulnerability in Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) Library Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2500212) - Version: 4.2
Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V4.2 (January 24, 2012): Added an entry to the update FAQ to announce a detection change for KB2538242, KB2538243, KB2467173, KB2538218, KB2538241, and KB2542054 to correct an installation issue. This is a detection change only. There were no changes to the security update files. Customers who have already successfully updated their systems do not need to take any action.
Summary: This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in certain applications built using the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) Library. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a legitimate file associated with such an affected application, and the file is located in the same network folder as a specially crafted library file. For an attack to be successful, a user must visit an untrusted remote file system location or WebDAV share and open a document from this location that is then loaded by the affected application.
