| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS11-075, 2623699) for 'Vulnerability in Microsoft Active Accessibility Could Allow Remote Code Execution' has not been applied.
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in the Microsoft Active Accessibility component. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if an attacker convinces a user to open a legitimate file that is located in the same network directory as a specially crafted dynamic link library (DLL) file. Then, while opening the legitimate file, the Microsoft Active Accessibility component could attempt to load the DLL file and execute any code it contained. For an attack to be successful, a user must visit an untrusted remote file system location or WebDAV share and open a document from this location that is then loaded by a vulnerable application. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the manner in which the Microsoft Active Accessibility component loads external libraries.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
