| MS17-011 | Security Update for Microsoft Uniscribe (4013076) | Windows Vista | Critical | 15-03-2017 |
Technical Information
Brief overview of the risk:
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Windows Uniscribe. The most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user visits a specially crafted website or opens a specially crafted document. 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.
Detailed Information on the risk:
In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit these vulnerabilities and then convince a user to view the website. An attacker would have no way to force users to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to take action, typically by getting them to click a link in an email or instant message that takes users to the attacker’s website, or by opening an attachment sent through email.
In a file sharing attack scenario, an attacker could provide a specially crafted document file designed to exploit these vulnerabilities and then convince a user to open the document file.
Windows Vista Service Pack 2 In a file sharing attack scenario, an attacker could provide a specially crafted document file designed to exploit these vulnerabilities and then convince a user to open the document file.
