MS11-085: Vulnerability in Windows Mail and Windows Meeting Space Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2620704)

high Nessus Plugin ID 56738

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing an security update. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw in Windows Mail and Windows Meeting Space related to the search path that is used when loading dynamic link library (DLL) files. This path may include directories that are not trusted or under user control. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by inserting a crafted Trojan horse DLL file into the search path, to execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows Vista, 2008, 7, and 2008 R2.
