Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (November 11, 2014): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a publically reported vulnerability in TCP/IP that occurs during input/output control (IOCTL) processing. This vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker logs on to a system and runs a specially crafted application. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of another process. If this process runs with administrator privileges, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.

MS14-066 – Critical: Vulnerability in Schannel Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2992611) – Version: 1.0
Severity Rating: Critical
Revision Note: V1.0 (November 11, 2014): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in the Microsoft Secure Channel (Schannel) security package in Windows. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if an attacker sends specially crafted packets to a Windows server.
MS14-078 – Moderate: Vulnerability in IME (Japanese) Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (2992719) – Version: 1.0
Severity Rating: Moderate
Revision Note: V1.0 (November 11, 2014): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Input Method Editor (IME) (Japanese). The vulnerability could allow sandbox escape based on the application sandbox policy on a system where an affected version of the Microsoft IME (Japanese) is installed. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could escape the sandbox of a vulnerable application and gain access to the affected system with logged-in user rights. If the affected system is logged in with administrative rights, an attacker could then install programs; view, change or delete data; or create new accounts with full administrative rights.
MS14-071 – Important: Vulnerability in Windows Audio Service Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (3005607) – Version: 1.0
Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (November 11, 2014): Bulletin published
Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an application uses the Microsoft Windows Audio service. The vulnerability by itself does not allow arbitrary code to be run. The vulnerability would have to be used in conjunction with another vulnerability that allowed remote code execution.
MS14-076 – Important: Vulnerability in Internet Information Services (IIS) Could Allow Security Feature Bypass (2982998) – Version: 1.0
Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (November 11, 2014): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Internet Microsoft Information Services (IIS) that could lead to a bypass of the “IP and domain restrictions” security feature. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in clients from restricted or blocked domains having access to restricted web resources.
MS14-072 – Important: Vulnerability in .NET Framework Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (3005210) – Version: 1.0
Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (November 11, 2014): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft .NET Framework. The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker sends specially crafted data to an affected workstation or server that uses .NET Remoting. .NET Remoting is not widely used by applications; only custom applications that have been specifically designed to use .NET Remoting would expose a system to the vulnerability.
MS14-077 – Important: Vulnerability in Active Directory Federation Services Could Allow Information Disclosure (3003381) – Version: 1.0
Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (November 11, 2014): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS). The vulnerability could allow information disclosure if a user leaves their browser open after logging off from an application, and an attacker reopens the application in the browser immediately after the user has logged off.
MS14-079 – Moderate: Vulnerability in Kernel-Mode Driver Could Allow Denial of Service (3002885) – Version: 1.0
Severity Rating: Moderate
Revision Note: V1.0 (November 11, 2014): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow denial of service if an attacker places a specially crafted TrueType font on a network share and a user subsequently navigates there in Windows Explorer. In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website that contains a webpage that is used to exploit this vulnerability. In addition, compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements could contain specially crafted content that could exploit this vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit such websites. Instead, an attacker would have to persuade users to visit a website, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or Instant Messenger message that takes them to the attacker’s website.
MS14-074 – Important: Vulnerability in Remote Desktop Protocol Could Allow Security Feature Bypass (3003743) – Version: 1.0
Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (November 11, 2014): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow security feature bypass when Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) fails to properly log audit events. By default, RDP is not enabled on any Windows operating system. Systems that do not have RDP enabled are not at risk.
MS14-067 – Critical: Vulnerability in XML Core Services Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2993958) – Version: 1.0
Severity Rating: Critical
Revision Note: V1.0 (November 11, 2014): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a logged-on user visits a specially crafted website that is designed to invoke Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) through Internet Explorer. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit such websites. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit a website, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or in an Instant Messenger request that takes users to the attacker’s website.
