Microsoft Security Bulletin MS12-060 - Critical
Vulnerability in Windows Common Controls Could Allow Remote Code Execution 
(2720573)

Published Date: August 14, 2012

Version: 1.0

General Information

Executive Summary

This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in Windows 
common controls. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user 
visits a website containing specially crafted content designed to exploit the 
vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force 
users to visit such a 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. The malicious file could be sent as an email attachment as well, but 
the attacker would have to convince the user to open the attachment in order 
to exploit the vulnerability.

This security update is rated Critical for all supported Microsoft software 
that included the Windows common controls in their default installations. This 
includes all supported editions of Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Office 
2007; Microsoft Office 2010 (except x64-based editions); Microsoft SQL Server
2000 Analysis Services, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (except Itanium-based 
editions), Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (except Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express 
Edition, but including Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced 
Services), Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, Microsoft 
Commerce Server 2002, Microsoft Commerce Server 2007, Microsoft Commerce Server 
2009, Microsoft Commerce Server 2009 R2, Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 
Service Pack 1, Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8.0, Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0, and 
Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime. For more information, see the subsection, Affected 
and Non-Affected Software, in this section.

The security update addresses the vulnerability by disabling the vulnerable 
version of the Windows common controls and replacing it with a new version that
does not contain the vulnerability. For more information about the 
vulnerability, see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) subsection for the 
specific vulnerability entry under the next section, Vulnerability Information.
