Technical Information

Brief overview of the risk:
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if used in conjunction with another vulnerability that allows arbitrary code to be run. Once the other vulnerability has been exploited, an attacker could then exploit the vulnerabilities addressed in this bulletin to cause arbitrary code to run at a medium integrity level.

Detailed Information on the risk:

Elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exists in Microsoft Windows OLE when it fails to properly validate user input. The vulnerabilities by themselves do not allow arbitrary code to be run. The vulnerabilities would have to be used in conjunction with another vulnerability that allows remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could allow a user with limited privileges on an affected system to execute code at a medium integrity level.
