3074162 – Vulnerability in Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool Could Allow Elevation of Privilege – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (July 14, 2015): Advisory published
Summary: Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to inform customers that an update to the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) is available that addresses a security vulnerability that was reported to Microsoft. The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker logs on to a target system and places a specially crafted dynamic link library (.dll) file in a local directory. An authenticated attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could elevate privileges on a target system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full administrative rights.

MS15-069 – Important: Vulnerabilities in Windows Could Allow Remote Code Execution (3072631) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (July 14, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerabilities could allow Remote Code Execution if an attacker first places a specially crafted dynamic link library (DLL) file in the target user’s current working directory and then convinces the user to open an RTF file or to launch a program that is designed to load a trusted DLL file but instead loads the attacker’s specially crafted DLL file. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities 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.

MS15-063 – Important: Vulnerability in Windows Kernel Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (3063858) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (June 9, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker places a malicious .dll file in a local directory on the machine or on a network share. An attacker would then have to wait for a user to run a program that can load a malicious .dll file, resulting in elevation of privilege. However, in all cases an attacker would have no way to force a user to visit such a network share or website.

MS15-064 – Important: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Exchange Server Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (3062157) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (June 9, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Exchange Server. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if a user clicks a specially crafted URL that takes them to a targeted Outlook Web App site. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit a specially crafted website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince them to visit the website, typically by getting them to click a link in an instant messenger or email message that takes them to the attacker’s website, and then convince them to click the specially crafted URL.

MS15-061 – Important: Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (3057839) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (June 9, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows.

MS15-062 – Important: Vulnerability in Active Directory Federation Services Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (3062577) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (June 9, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a vulnerability in Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS). The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker submits a specially crafted URL to a target site that, due to the vulnerability, fails to properly sanitize script embedded in the URL. Once an attacker has successfully submitted specially crafted script to a target site, any webpage on that site that contains the specially crafted script is a potential vector for cross-site scripting attacks.
