Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS10-045, 978212) for 'Vulnerability in Microsoft Office Outlook Could Allow Remote Code Execution' has not been applied. This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opened an attachment in a specially crafted e-mail message using an affected version of Microsoft Office Outlook. The update addresses the vulnerability by modifying the way that Microsoft Office Outlook verifies attachments in a specially crafted e-mail message. 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.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
