No CVE numbers available. This update fixes a buffer overflow in Microsoft Agent that could allow remote code execution.
Microsoft Agent is a component of the OS that allows (to quote Microsoft) "an enriched form of user interaction that can make using and learning to use a computer easier and more natural." This includes things like the paperclip that pops up at various times while using Microsoft Office applications. This feature can apparently be invoked via ActiveX in Internet Explorer Microsoft states that they are not aware of active exploitation of this vulnerability at this time. Due to the possibility of remote exploitation, this should be considered critical for user machines, less urgent for servers. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-068.mspx I will be teaching next: Reverse-Engineering Malware: Malware Analysis Tools and Techniques - SANS Rocky Mountain Fall 2021 |
