Microsoft Security Bulletin MS13-002 - Critical
Vulnerabilities in Microsoft XML Core Services Could Allow Remote Code
Execution (2756145)
Published Date: January 8, 2013
Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in
Microsoft XML Core Services. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code
execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage using Internet Explorer.
An attacker would have no way to force users to visit such a website. Instead,
an attacker would have to convince users to visit the website, typically by
getting them to click a link in an email message or Instant Messenger message
that takes the user to the attacker's website.
This security update is rated Critical for Microsoft XML Core Services 3.0,
Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0, and Microsoft XML Core Services 6.0 on all
affected editions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and
Windows RT; Critical for Microsoft XML Core Services 5.0 when installed with
all supported editions of Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Office 2007,
Microsoft Word Viewer, Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack, Microsoft
Expression Web, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007, and Microsoft Groove Server
2007; Moderate for Microsoft XML Core Services 3.0, 4.0, and 6.0 on all
affected editions of Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server
2008 R2, and Windows Server 2012.
The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by modifying the way that
Microsoft XML Core Services parses XML content.
