 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:00:00 GMT MS10-060 - Critical: Vulnerabilities in the Microsoft .NET Common Language Runtime and in Microsoft Silverlight Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2265906)
Bulletin Severity Rating:Critical - This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft .NET Framework and Microsoft Silverlight. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution on a client system if a user views a specially crafted Web page using a Web browser that can run XAML Browser Applications (XBAPs) or Silverlight applications, or if an attacker succeeds in convincing a user to run a specially crafted Microsoft .NET application. 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. The vulnerabilities could also allow remote code execution on a server system running IIS, if that server allows processing ASP.NET pages and an attacker succeeds in uploading a specially crafted ASP.NET page to that server and executing the page, as could be the case in a Web hosting scenario.
 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:00:00 GMT MS10-059 - Important: Vulnerabilities in the Tracing Feature for Services Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (982799)
Bulletin Severity Rating:Important - This security update resolves one publicly disclosed vulnerability and one privately reported vulnerability in the Tracing Feature for Services. The vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker runs a specially crafted application. 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.
 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:00:00 GMT MS10-058 - Important: Vulnerabilities in TCP/IP Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (978886)
Bulletin Severity Rating:Important - This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The more severe of these vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege due to an error in the processing of a specific input buffer. An attacker who is able to log on to the target system could exploit this vulnerability and run arbitrary code with system-level privileges. The attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:00:00 GMT MS10-057 - Important: Vulnerability in Microsoft Office Excel Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2269707)
Bulletin Severity Rating:Important - This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Office. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Excel file. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged-on 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.
 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:00:00 GMT MS10-056 - Critical: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office Word Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2269638)
Bulletin Severity Rating:Critical - This security update resolves four privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office. The most severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens or previews a specially crafted RTF e-mail message. An attacker who successfully exploited any of these 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.
 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:00:00 GMT MS10-055 - Critical: Vulnerability in Cinepak Codec Could Allow Remote Code Execution (982665)
Bulletin Severity Rating:Critical - This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Cinepak Codec. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted media file or receives specially crafted streaming content from a Web site or any application that delivers Web content. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability 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.
 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:00:00 GMT MS10-054 - Critical: Vulnerabilities in SMB Server Could Allow Remote Code Execution (982214)
Bulletin Severity Rating:Critical - This security update resolves several privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows.

Bulletin Severity Rating:Critical - This security update resolves one publicly disclosed vulnerability and one privately reported vulnerability in the Secure Channel (SChannel) security package in Windows. The more severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user visits a specially crafted Web site that is designed to exploit these vulnerabilities through an Internet Web browser. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit these Web sites. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit the Web site, typically by getting them to click a link in an e-mail message or in an Instant Messenger message that takes users to the attacker's Web site.
 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:00:00 GMT MS10-048 - Important: Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (2160329)

Bulletin Severity Rating:Important - This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opened an attachment in a specially crafted e-mail message using an affected version of Microsoft Office Outlook. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability 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.
 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 08:00:00 GMT MS10-044 - Critical: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office Access ActiveX Controls Could Allow Remote Code Execution (982335)
Bulletin Severity Rating:Critical - This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office Access ActiveX Controls.

 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 08:00:00 GMT MS10-043 - Critical: Vulnerability in Canonical Display Driver Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2032276)
Bulletin Severity Rating:Critical - This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in the Canonical Display Driver (cdd.dll). Although it is possible that the vulnerability could allow code execution, successful code execution is unlikely due to memory randomization. In most scenarios, it is much more likely that an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause the affected system to stop responding and automatically restart.
 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 08:00:00 GMT MS10-042 - Critical: Vulnerability in Help and Support Center Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2229593)
Bulletin Severity Rating:Critical - This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in the Windows Help and Support Center feature that is delivered with supported editions of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

The vulnerability cannot be exploited automatically through e-mail. For an attack to be successful, a user must click a link listed within an e-mail message.
 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 08:00:00 GMT MS10-041 - Important: Vulnerability in Microsoft .NET Framework Could Allow Tampering (981343)
Bulletin Severity Rating:Important - This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in Microsoft .NET Framework. The vulnerability could allow data tampering of signed XML content without being detected. In custom applications, the security impact depends on how the signed content is used in the specific application. Scenarios in which signed XML messages are transmitted over a secure channel (such as SSL) are not affected by this vulnerability.
 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 08:00:00 GMT MS10-040 - Important: Vulnerability in Internet Information Services Could Allow Remote Code Execution (982666)
Bulletin Severity Rating:Important - This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Internet Information Services (IIS).
