Microsoft Security Bulletin MS12-034 - Critical
Combined Security Update for Microsoft Office, Windows, .NET Framework, and 
Silverlight (2681578)

Published: Tuesday, May 08, 2012

Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary

This security update resolves three publicly disclosed vulnerabilities and 
seven privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office, Microsoft 
Windows, the Microsoft .NET Framework, and Microsoft Silverlight. The most 
severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user 
opens a specially crafted document or visits a malicious webpage that embeds 
TrueType font files. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit a 
malicious website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit 
the website, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or 
Instant Messenger message that takes them to the attacker's website.

This security update is rated Critical for all supported releases of Microsoft 
Windows; for Microsoft .NET Framework 4, except when installed on Itanium-based 
editions of Microsoft Windows; and for Microsoft Silverlight 4 and Microsoft 
Silverlight 5. This security update is rated Important for Microsoft Office 
2003, Microsoft Office 2007, and Microsoft Office 2010. For more information, 
see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section.

Vulnerability Information

TrueType Font Parsing Vulnerability - CVE-2011-3402

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that affected
components handle a specially crafted TrueType font file. The vulnerability 
could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted TrueType 
font file. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take 
complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install 
programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user 
rights. 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.

To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities 
and Exposures list, see CVE-2011-3402.

TrueType Font Parsing Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0159

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that affected 
components handle a specially crafted TrueType font file. The vulnerability 
could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted TrueType 
font file. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take
complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install 
programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user 
rights.

To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities 
and Exposures list, see CVE-2012-0159.

.NET Framework Buffer Allocation Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0162

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft .NET Framework that 
can allow a specially crafted Microsoft .NET Framework application to access 
memory in an unsafe manner. An attacker who successfully exploited this 
vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the security context of the logged-on 
user. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or 
create new accounts with full user rights. 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.

To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities 
and Exposures list, see CVE-2012-0162.

.NET Framework Index Comparison Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0164

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the way that .NET Framework 
compares the value of an index. An attacker who successfully exploited this 
vulnerability could cause applications created using WPF APIs to stop 
responding until manually restarted. Note that the denial of service 
vulnerability would not allow an attacker to execute code or to elevate their 
user rights in any fashion.

To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities 
and Exposures list, see CVE-2012-0164.

GDI+ Record Type Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0165

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that GDI+ handles 
validation of specially crafted EMF images. The vulnerability could allow 
remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted EMF image file. An 
attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete 
control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, 
change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. 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.

To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities 
and Exposures list, see CVE-2012-0165.

GDI+ Heap Overflow Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0167

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the Office GDI+ 
library handles validation of specially crafted EMF images embedded within an 
Office document. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user 
opens a specially crafted Office document. An attacker who successfully 
exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.
An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or 
create new accounts with full user rights. 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.

To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities 
and Exposures list, see CVE-2012-0167.

Silverlight Double-Free Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0176

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Silverlight that can 
allow a specially crafted Silverlight application to access memory in an unsafe
manner. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run 
arbitrary code in the security context of the logged-on user. An attacker could 
then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts 
with full user rights. 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.

To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures list, see CVE-2012-0176.

Windows and Messages Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0180

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows 
kernel-mode driver manages the functions related to Windows and Messages 
handling. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run 
arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, 
change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full administrative rights.

To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures list, see CVE-2012-0180.

Keyboard Layout File Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0181

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows
kernel-mode driver manages Keyboard Layout files. An attacker who successfully 
exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode. An 
attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create 
new accounts with full administrative rights.

To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities 
and Exposures list, see CVE-2012-0181.

Scrollbar Calculation Vulnerability - CVE-2012-1848

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the Windows kernel-mode 
driver. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run 
arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, 
change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full administrative rights.

To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities 
and Exposures list, see CVE-2012-1848.
