The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted Web page. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. 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 Critical for all supported editions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7, and Important for all supported editions of Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2. For more information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section. Affected Software Windows XP Service Pack 3 Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 Service Pack 1 Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Service Pack 2 Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 Service Pack 2 Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 Service Pack 2 Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition Service Pack 2 Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 Service Pack 2 Windows Server 2003 with SP2 for Itanium-based Systems Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 Service Pack 2 Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Windows Data Access Components 6.0 Windows Vista x64 Edition Service Pack 1 and Windows Vista x64 Edition Service Pack 2 Windows Data Access Components 6.0 Windows Server 2008 for 32-bit Systems and Windows Server 2008 for 32-bit Systems Service Pack 2 Windows Data Access Components 6.0* Windows Server 2008 for x64-based Systems and Windows Server 2008 for x64-based Systems Service Pack 2 Windows Data Access Components 6.0* Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based Systems and Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based Systems Service Pack 2 Windows Data Access Components 6.0 Windows 7 for 32-bit Systems Windows Data Access Components 6.0 Windows 7 for x64-based Systems Windows Data Access Components 6.0 Windows Server 2008 R2 for x64-based Systems Windows Data Access Components 6.0* Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-based Systems Windows Data Access Components 6.0 Vulnerability Information DSN Overflow Vulnerability - CVE-2011-0026 A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Data Access Components validates third-party API usage. This vulnerability could allow code execution if a user visited a specially crafted Web page. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, 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. ADO Record Memory Vulnerability - CVE-2011-0027 A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Data Access Components validates memory allocation. This vulnerability could allow code execution if a user visited a specially crafted Web page. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, 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. - --------------------------END INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- You have received this e-mail bulletin as a result of your organisation's registration with AusCERT.
