Microsoft Security Bulletin MS12-063 - Critical
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (2744842)
Published: Friday, September 21, 2012
Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves one publicly disclosed and four privately
reported vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. The most severe vulnerabilities
could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage
using Internet Explorer. An attacker who successfully exploited any of these
vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current 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 Internet Explorer 6, Internet
Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, and Internet Explorer 9 on Windows clients and
Moderate for Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, and
Internet Explorer 9 on Windows servers. Internet Explorer 10 is not affected.
