| Bulletin Identifier | Microsoft Security Bulletin MS11-057 | | Bulletin Title | Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (2559049) | | Executive Summary | This security update resolves five privately reported vulnerabilities and two publicly disclosed vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. The most severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage using Internet Explorer. An attacker who successfully exploited any of these vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the local user.
The update addresses the vulnerabilities by modifying the way that Internet Explorer handles objects in memory, handles JavaScript event handlers, renders data during certain processes, accesses files stored in the local machine, and manages cookie files; and by modifying the way the telnet handler executes the associated application. | | Severity Ratings and Affected Software | This security update is rated Critical for Internet Explorer 6 on Windows clients, and for Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, and Internet Explorer 9; and Important for Internet Explorer 6 on Windows servers. | | Attack Vectors | | • | A maliciously crafted webpage. | | • | A maliciously crafted HTML email. | | | Mitigating Factors | | • | Users would have to be persuaded to visit a malicious website. | | • | Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. | | • | Exploitation only gains the same user rights as the logged-on account. | | • | By default, IE on Windows 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 runs in a restricted mode. | | • | By default, all versions of Outlook, Outlook Express, and Windows Mail open HTML email messages in the Restricted Sites zone. | | | Restart Requirement | This update requires a restart. | | Bulletins Replaced by This Update | MS11-050 | | Full Details | http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS11-057.mspx | | |
