Microsoft Security Bulletin MS14-007 - Critical
Vulnerability in Direct2D Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2912390)
Published Date: February 11, 2014
Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft
Windows. The vulnerability 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 view specially crafted content. Instead, an attacker
would have to convince users to take action, typically by getting them to
click a link in an email message or in an Instant Messenger message that
takes users to an attacker's website, or by getting them to open an
attachment sent through email.
This security update is rated Critical for all supported editions of Windows
7, Windows 2008 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows RT, Windows 8.1,
Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows RT 8.1.
