Microsoft Security Bulletin MS10-008 - Critical
Cumulative Security Update of ActiveX Kill Bits (978262)
Published: February 09, 2010
Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update addresses a privately reported vulnerability for
Microsoft software. This security update is rated Critical for all
supported editions of Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP, Important
for all supported editions of Windows Vista and Windows 7, Moderate for
all supported editions of Windows Server 2003, and Low for all supported
editions of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user views a
specially crafted Web page that instantiates an ActiveX control with
Internet Explorer. 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. This update also includes kill bits for four
third-party ActiveX controls.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by setting a kill bit so
that the vulnerable control does not run in Internet Explorer.
Recommendation. The majority of customers have automatic updating enabled
and will not need to take any action because this security update will be
downloaded and installed automatically. Customers who have not enabled
automatic updating need to check for updates and install this update
manually.
For administrators and enterprise installations, or end users who want to
install this security update manually, Microsoft recommends that customers
apply the update immediately using update management software, or by
