Executive Summary:

FAQ:

According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to some loss of confidentiality (C:L) but have no effect on integrity (I:N) or on availability (A:N). What does that mean for this vulnerability?

An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could view some sensitive information (Confidentiality) but not all resources within the impacted component may be divulged to the attacker. The attacker cannot make changes to disclosed information (Integrity) or limit access to the resource (Availability).


What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?

An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could bypass the MapURLToZone method.


According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?

Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file.

  • In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file.
  • In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) containing a specially crafted file designed to exploit the vulnerability.

An attacker would have no way to force users to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or instant message, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file.


The Security Updates table indicates that this vulnerability affects all supported versions of Microsoft Windows. Why are IE Cumulative updates listed for Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2?

While Microsoft has announced retirement of the Internet Explorer 11 application on certain platforms and the Microsoft Edge Legacy application is deprecated, the underlying MSHTML, EdgeHTML, and scripting platforms are still supported. The MSHTML platform is used by Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge as well as other applications through WebBrowser control. The EdgeHTML platform is used by WebView and some UWP applications. The scripting platforms are used by MSHTML and EdgeHTML but can also be used by other legacy applications. Updates to address vulnerabilities in the MSHTML platform and scripting engine are included in the IE Cumulative Updates; EdgeHTML and Chakra changes are not applicable to those platforms.

To stay fully protected, we recommend that customers who install Security Only updates install the IE Cumulative updates for this vulnerability.

FAQ:

According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to some loss of confidentiality (C:L) but have no effect on integrity (I:N) or on availability (A:N). What does that mean for this vulnerability?

An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could view some sensitive information (Confidentiality) but not all resources within the impacted component may be divulged to the attacker. The attacker cannot make changes to disclosed information (Integrity) or limit access to the resource (Availability).


According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?

Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file.

  • In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file.
  • In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) containing a specially crafted file designed to exploit the vulnerability.

An attacker would have no way to force users to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or instant message, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file.


What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?

A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when the MSHTML platform fails to validate the correct Security Zone of requests for specific URLs. This could allow an attacker to cause a user to access a URL in a less restricted Internet Security Zone than intended.

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker could email or otherwise provide a specially crafted URL to a victim and convince them to click on it.

The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting security feature behavior to properly map affected URLs to the correct Security Zone.


The Security Updates table indicates that this vulnerability affects all supported versions of Microsoft Windows. Why are IE Cumulative updates listed for Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2?

While Microsoft has announced retirement of the Internet Explorer 11 application on certain platforms and the Microsoft Edge Legacy application is deprecated, the underlying MSHTML, EdgeHTML, and scripting platforms are still supported. The MSHTML platform is used by Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge as well as other applications through WebBrowser control. The EdgeHTML platform is used by WebView and some UWP applications. The scripting platforms are used by MSHTML and EdgeHTML but can also be used by other legacy applications. Updates to address vulnerabilities in the MSHTML platform and scripting engine are included in the IE Cumulative Updates; EdgeHTML and Chakra changes are not applicable to those platforms.

To stay fully protected, we recommend that customers who install Security Only updates install the IE Cumulative updates for this vulnerability.

FAQ:

According to the CVSS metric, a successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability?

A successful exploitation of this vulnerability via a medium integrity level exploit could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to system-level resources, potentially modify kernel memory, and execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. This could lead to a full compromise of the system’s integrity, confidentiality, and availability.


Are there any additional steps that I need to follow to be protected from this vulnerability?

The changes to address this vulnerability updated Virtual Secure Mode components. The policy described in Guidance for blocking rollback of Virtualization-based Security (VBS) related security updates has been updated to account for the latest changes. If you deployed this policy, then you'll need to redeploy using the updated policy.

Executive Summary:
None
FAQ:

According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N) and the user interaction is required (UI:R). What is the target context of the remote code execution?

This attack requires an authenticated client to click a link in order for an unauthenticated attacker to initiate remote code execution.


How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?

An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by controlling subsequent memory allocation after a double free error occurs. This could potentially allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code, leading to remote code execution.

FAQ:

How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?

In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted email to the victim. Exploitation of the vulnerability might involve either a victim opening a specially crafted email with an affected version of Microsoft Outlook software, or a victim's Outlook application displaying a preview of a specially crafted email . This could result in the attacker executing remote code on the victim's machine.


What is OLE?

Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) is a technology that allows embedding and linking to documents and other objects. For more information please visit: Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) Data Structures


Mitigations:
None
Workarounds:

Use Microsoft Outlook to reduce the risk of users opening RTF Files from unknown or untrusted sources

To help protect against this vulnerability, we recommend users read email messages in plain text format.

For guidance on how to configure Microsoft Outlook to read all standard mail in plain text, please refer to Read email messages in plain text.

Impact of workaround: Email messages that are viewed in plain text format will not contain pictures, specialized fonts, animations, or other rich content. In addition, the following behavior may be experienced:

  • The changes are applied to the preview pane and to open messages.
  • Pictures become attachments so that they are not lost.
  • Because the message is still in Rich Text or HTML format in the store, the object model (custom code solutions) may behave unexpectedly.

FAQ:

What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?

Exploiting this vulnerability could allow the disclosure of certain memory address within kernel space. Knowing the exact location of kernel memory could be potentially leveraged by an attacker for other malicious activities.


**Are there any further steps I need to take to be protected from this vulnerability?

Customers running Windows Server 2016 or older, or Windows 10 version 1607 or older MUST install both the Servicing Stack Update (SSU) and the Security Update for that version to be fully protected from this vulnerability. See ADV990001 | Latest Servicing Stack Updates for the applicable Servicing Stack Update for your operating system version.

Customers whose systems are configured to receive automatic updates do not need to take any further action.

Do I need to install the Servicing Stack Update and the January 2025 Security Update in any particular order?

SSUs should always be installed before any new update for Windows, including the latest cumulative update (LCU), Monthly Rollup, or Security Update.

FAQ:

What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?

Exploiting this vulnerability could allow the disclosure of certain memory address within kernel space. Knowing the exact location of kernel memory could be potentially leveraged by an attacker for other malicious activities.


**Are there any further steps I need to take to be protected from this vulnerability?

Customers running Windows Server 2016 or older, or Windows 10 version 1607 or older MUST install both the Servicing Stack Update (SSU) and the Security Update for that version to be fully protected from this vulnerability. See ADV990001 | Latest Servicing Stack Updates for the applicable Servicing Stack Update for your operating system version.

Customers whose systems are configured to receive automatic updates do not need to take any further action.

Do I need to install the Servicing Stack Update and the January 2025 Security Update in any particular order?

SSUs should always be installed before any new update for Windows, including the latest cumulative update (LCU), Monthly Rollup, or Security Update.

FAQ:

What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?

Exploiting this vulnerability could allow the disclosure of certain memory address within kernel space. Knowing the exact location of kernel memory could be potentially leveraged by an attacker for other malicious activities.


**Are there any further steps I need to take to be protected from this vulnerability?

Customers running Windows Server 2016 or older, or Windows 10 version 1607 or older MUST install both the Servicing Stack Update (SSU) and the Security Update for that version to be fully protected from this vulnerability. See ADV990001 | Latest Servicing Stack Updates for the applicable Servicing Stack Update for your operating system version.

Customers whose systems are configured to receive automatic updates do not need to take any further action.

Do I need to install the Servicing Stack Update and the January 2025 Security Update in any particular order?

SSUs should always be installed before any new update for Windows, including the latest cumulative update (LCU), Monthly Rollup, or Security Update.

FAQ:

According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?

The word Remote in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally.

For example, when the score indicates that the Attack Vector is Local and User Interaction is Required, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.


There are multiple update packages available for some of the affected software. Do I need to install all the updates listed in the Security Updates table for the software?

Yes. Customers should apply all updates offered for the software installed on their systems. If multiple updates apply, they can be installed in any order.

FAQ:

There are multiple update packages available for some of the affected software. Do I need to install all the updates listed in the Security Updates table for the software?

Yes. Customers should apply all updates offered for the software installed on their systems. If multiple updates apply, they can be installed in any order.


According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is high (PR:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?

An authenticated attacker with Site Owner permissions can use the vulnerability to inject arbitrary code and execute this code in the context of SharePoint Server.


How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?

An authenticated attacker with Site Owner permissions or higher could upload a specially crafted file to the targeted SharePoint Server and craft specialized API requests to trigger deserialization of file's parameters. This would enable the attacker to perform remote code execution in the context of the SharePoint Server.

FAQ:

According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?

The word Remote in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally.

For example, when the score indicates that the Attack Vector is Local and User Interaction is Required, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.

FAQ:

According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H) and privileges required are low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?

An attacker must gain access to the victim user's Microsoft Outlook account by compromising or stealing their login credential and then install a malicious form prior to exploiting the vulnerability successfully.


According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?

A user needs to be tricked into opening malicious files.


According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?

The word Remote in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. This means an attacker or victim needs to execute code from the local machine to exploit the vulnerability.

FAQ:

According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?

The word Remote in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally.

For example, when the score indicates that the Attack Vector is Local and User Interaction is Required, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.


How does the update protect against this vulnerability?

The update blocks potentially malicious extensions from being sent in an email.

Which types of extensions are blocked?

The following extensions which will be blocked:

  • accdb
  • accde
  • accdw
  • accdt
  • accda
  • accdr
  • accdu

Is there any notification indicating an email contained a blocked extension?

The email recipient will get a notification that there was an attachment but it cannot be accessed.

FAQ:

According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to some loss of confidentiality (C:L) but have no effect on integrity (I:N) or on availability (A:N). What does that mean for this vulnerability?

An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could view some sensitive information (Confidentiality) but not all resources within the impacted component may be divulged to the attacker. The attacker cannot make changes to disclosed information (Integrity) or limit access to the resource (Availability).


What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?

An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could bypass the MapURLToZone method.


According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?

Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file.

  • In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file.
  • In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) containing a specially crafted file designed to exploit the vulnerability.

An attacker would have no way to force users to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or instant message, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file.

FAQ:

According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to some loss of integrity (I:L)? What does that mean for this vulnerability?

Integrity is impacted as XSS allows an attacker to add their malicious script to fetch victim's sensitive info or to change DOM execution.


According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?

The attacker must be authenticated to the target site as at least a Site Member.


According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?

In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) that contains a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerability. However, an attacker would have no way to force the user to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince the user to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message, and then convince the user to open the specially crafted file.


There are multiple update packages available for some of the affected software. Do I need to install all the updates listed in the Security Updates table for the software?

Yes. Customers should apply all updates offered for the software installed on their systems. If multiple updates apply, they can be installed in any order.

FAQ:

According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?

The word Remote in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally.

For example, when the score indicates that the Attack Vector is Local and User Interaction is Required, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.


How does the update protect against this vulnerability?

The update blocks potentially malicious extensions from being sent in an email.

Which types of extensions are blocked?

The following extensions which will be blocked:

  • accdb
  • accde
  • accdw
  • accdt
  • accda
  • accdr
  • accdu

Is there any notification indicating an email contained a blocked extension?

The email recipient will get a notification that there was an attachment but it cannot be accessed.

FAQ:

According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to some loss of confidentiality (C:L) but have no effect on integrity (I:N) or on availability (A:N). What does that mean for this vulnerability?

An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could view some sensitive information (Confidentiality) but not all resources within the impacted component may be divulged to the attacker. The attacker cannot make changes to disclosed information (Integrity) or limit access to the resource (Availability).


According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?

Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file.

  • In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file.
  • In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) containing a specially crafted file designed to exploit the vulnerability.

An attacker would have no way to force users to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or instant message, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file.


What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?

An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could bypass the MapURLToZone method.


The Security Updates table indicates that this vulnerability affects all supported versions of Microsoft Windows. Why are IE Cumulative updates listed for Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2?

While Microsoft has announced retirement of the Internet Explorer 11 application on certain platforms and the Microsoft Edge Legacy application is deprecated, the underlying MSHTML, EdgeHTML, and scripting platforms are still supported. The MSHTML platform is used by Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge as well as other applications through WebBrowser control. The EdgeHTML platform is used by WebView and some UWP applications. The scripting platforms are used by MSHTML and EdgeHTML but can also be used by other legacy applications. Updates to address vulnerabilities in the MSHTML platform and scripting engine are included in the IE Cumulative Updates; EdgeHTML and Chakra changes are not applicable to those platforms.

To stay fully protected, we recommend that customers who install Security Only updates install the IE Cumulative updates for this vulnerability.
