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. The most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker logs on to the system and runs a specially crafted application.

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.

Severity Rating: Critical
Revision Note: V1.0 (June 9, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if Windows Media Player opens specially crafted media content that is hosted on a malicious website. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system remotely. 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.

MS15-060 – Important: Vulnerability in Microsoft Common Controls Could Allow Remote Code Execution (3059317) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (June 9, 2015): Bulletin published.

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.
