CVE-2014-3730

The django.util.http.is_safe_url function in Django 1.4 before 1.4.13, 1.5 before 1.5.8, 1.6 before 1.6.5, and 1.7 before 1.7b4 does not properly validate URLs, which allows remote attackers to conduct open redirect attacks via a malformed URL, as demonstrated by “http:\djangoproject.com.” (CVSS:4.3) (Last Update:2014-05-31)

CVE-2014-1418

Django 1.4 before 1.4.13, 1.5 before 1.5.8, 1.6 before 1.6.5, and 1.7 before 1.7b4 does not properly include the (1) Vary: Cookie or (2) Cache-Control header in responses, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or poison the cache via a request from certain browsers. (CVSS:6.4) (Last Update:2014-05-31)

CVE-2014-1806 (.net_framework)

The .NET Remoting implementation in Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1, 2.0 SP2, 3.5, 3.5.1, 4, 4.5, and 4.5.1 does not properly restrict memory access, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving malformed objects, aka “TypeFilterLevel Vulnerability.”

MS14-023 – Important: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2961037) – Version: 1.1

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.1 (May 13, 2014): V1.1 (May 13, 2014): Corrected the update replacement for the Microsoft Office 2010 (proofing tools) (2878284) update.
Summary: This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office. The most severe vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens an Office file that is located in the same network directory as a specially crafted library file. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability 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.

MS14-026 – Important: Vulnerability in .NET Framework Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (2958732) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (May 13, 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 authenticated 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.

MS14-027 – Important: Vulnerability in Windows Shell Handler Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (2962488) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (May 13, 2014): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker runs a specially crafted application that uses ShellExecute. An attacker must have valid logon credentials and be able to log on locally to exploit this vulnerability.

MS14-025 – Important: Vulnerability in Group Policy Preferences Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (2962486) – Version: 1.0

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.0 (May 13, 2014): Bulletin published.
Summary: This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an authenticated attacker uses certain Active Directory Group Policy preferences extensions to configure, distribute and ultimately decrypt the passwords that are stored with Group Policy preferences.
