MS15-089 – Important: Vulnerability in WebDAV Could Allow Information Disclosure (3076949) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (August 11, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow information disclosure if an attacker forces an encrypted Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 2.0 session with a WebDAV server that has SSL 2.0 enabled and uses a man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attack to decrypt portions of the encrypted traffic.

MS15-084 – Important: Vulnerabilities in XML Core Services Could Allow Information Disclosure (3080129) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (August 11, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerabilities could allow information disclosure by either exposing memory addresses if a user clicks a specially crafted link or by explicitly allowing the use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 2.0. However, in all cases an attacker would have no way to force users to click a specially crafted link; an attacker would have to convince users to click the link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message.

MS15-090 – Important: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (3060716) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (August 11, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker logs on to an affected system and runs a specially crafted application or convinces a user to open a specially crafted file that invokes a vulnerable sandboxed application, allowing an attacker to escape the sandbox.

MS15-081 – Critical: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office Could Allow Remote Code Execution (3080790) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Critical
Revision Note: V1.0 (August 11, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Microsoft Office file. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. Customers whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.

MS15-074 – Important: Vulnerability in Windows Installer Service Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (3072630) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (July 14, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if the Windows Installer service improperly runs custom action scripts. An attacker must first compromise a user who is logged on to the target system to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full administrative rights.

MS15-071 – Important: Vulnerability in Netlogon Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (3068457) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (July 14, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker who is logged on to a domain-joined system runs a specially crafted application that could establish a connection with other domain-joined systems as the impersonated user or system. The attacker must be logged on to a domain-joined system and be able to observe network traffic.

MS15-066 – Critical: Vulnerability in VBScript Scripting Engine Could Allow Remote Code Execution (3072604) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Critical
Revision Note: V1.0 (July 14, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a vulnerability in the VBScript scripting engine in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user visits a specially crafted website. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, 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.

MS15-072 – Important: Vulnerability in Windows Graphics Component Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (3069392) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (July 14, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if the Windows graphics component fails to properly process bitmap conversions. An authenticated attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could elevate privileges on a targeted system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full administrative rights. An attacker must first log on to the system to exploit this vulnerability.

MS15-065 – Critical: Security Update for Internet Explorer (3076321) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Critical
Revision Note: V1.0 (July 14, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage using Internet Explorer. An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current user. Customers whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
