Microsoft Security Bulletin MS11-001 - Important
Vulnerability in Windows Backup Manager Could Allow Remote Code Execution
(2478935)
Published: January 11, 2011
Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in
Windows Backup Manager. The vulnerability could allow remote code
execution if a user opens a legitimate Windows Backup Manager file
that is located in the same network directory as a specially crafted
library file. For an attack to be successful, a user must visit an
untrusted remote file system location or WebDAV share and open the
legitimate file from that location, which in turn could cause Windows
Backup Manager to load the specially crafted library file.
This security update is rated Important for all supported editions of
Windows Vista. For more information, see the subsection, Affected and
Non-Affected Software, in this section.
Affected Software
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows Vista Service Pack 2
Windows Vista x64 Edition Service Pack 1 and Windows Vista x64 Edition Service Pack 2
Vulnerability Information
Backup Manager Insecure Library Loading Vulnerability - CVE-2010-3145
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the
Microsoft Windows Backup Manager handles the loading of DLL files. An
attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take
complete control of an 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.
