MS14-033 – Important: Vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services Could Allow Information Disclosure (2966061) – Version: 1.1

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.1 (July 10, 2014): Bulletin revised to remove the prerequisite requirement for the MSXML 6.0 update on Windows Server 2003 systems
Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow information disclosure if a logged on user visits a specially crafted website that is designed to invoke 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.
