Microsoft Security Bulletin MS10-074 - Moderate
Vulnerability in Microsoft Foundation Classes Could Allow Remote Code
Execution (2387149)
Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in the
Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) Library. The vulnerability could allow remote
code execution if a user is logged on with administrative user rights and
opens an application built with the MFC Library. An attacker who successfully
exploited this vulnerability could obtain the same permissions as the
currently logged-on user. If a user is logged on with administrative user
rights, an attacker could take complete control of the affected system. An
attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create
new accounts with full user rights. 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 security update is rated Moderate for all supported releases of Microsoft
Windows. For more information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected
Software, in this section.

Library. While the vulnerability is located in MFC and is present on affected
