| Solution | |
| Vendor description | This security update resolves several privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL). The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user loaded a specially crafted component or control hosted on a malicious website. 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. |
| SophosLabs comments | This security update modifies the ATL headers so that components and controls built using the headers can safely initialize from a data stream. It also provides updated versions of Windows components and controls built using the corrected ATL headers. Although the vulnerabilities addressed in this update are all privately reported there are several, most of which are exploitable by visiting a malicious web page which is an attack vector easily leveraged via spam email and social engineering attacks. For this reason SophosLabs have assigned this update a threat rating of critical. |
