MS15-023 – Important: Vulnerabilities in Kernel-Mode Driver Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (3034344) – Version: 1.0
Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (March 10, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves four privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow security feature bypass if an attacker logs on to the system and runs a specially crafted application designed to increase privileges. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full administrative rights.
MS15-022 – Critical: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office Could Allow Remote Code Execution (3038999) – Version: 1.0
Severity Rating: Critical
Revision Note: V1.0 (March 10, 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.
MS15-025 – Important: Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (3038680) – Version: 1.0
Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (March 10, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves two privately reported 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. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the security context of the local system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
MS15-018 – Critical: Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (3032359) – Version: 1.0
Severity Rating: Critical
Revision Note: V1.0 (March 10, 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.
MS15-020 – Critical: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows Could Allow Remote Code Execution (3041836) – Version: 1.1
Severity Rating: Critical
Revision Note: V1.1 (March 10, 2015): Bulletin revised to better explain the attack vector for the DLL Planting Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2015-0096).
Summary: This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if an attacker successfully convinces a user to browse to a specially crafted website, open a specially crafted file, or open a file in a working directory that contains a specially crafted DLL file.
MS15-021 – Critical: Vulnerabilities in Adobe Font Driver Could Allow Remote Code Execution (3032323) – Version: 1.0
Severity Rating: Critical
Revision Note: V1.0 (March 10, 2015): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted file or website. An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities 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 these 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. 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.
MS15-028 – Important: Vulnerability in Windows Task Scheduler Could Allow Security Feature Bypass (3030377) – Version: 1.0
