MS14-060 - Important: Vulnerability in Windows OLE Could Allow Remote Code Execution (3000869) - Version: 1.1

Posted on 17 October 2014

Important

Severity Rating: Important
Revision Note: V1.1 (October 16, 2014): Corrected Updates Replaced entries in the Affected Software table for Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2. This is an informational change only. Customers who have already successfully installed the update do not have to take any action.
Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a Microsoft Office file that contains a specially crafted OLE object. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, 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 users who operate with administrative user rights.
