Revision Note: V1.1 (August 13, 2014): Revised bulletin to correct the Update FAQ that addresses the question, Will these security updates be offered to SQL Server clusters?
Summary: This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft SQL Server (one in SQL Server Master Data Services and the other in the SQL Server relational database management system). The more severe of these vulnerabilities, affecting SQL Server Master Data Services, could allow elevation of privilege if a user visits a specially crafted website that injects a client-side script into the user’s instance of Internet Explorer. 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, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or in an Instant Messenger message that takes them to the attacker’s website, or by getting them to open an attachment sent through email.
