The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opened a specially crafted Office file or viewed a Web page that instantiated Access ActiveX controls. 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. This security update is rated Critical for supported editions of Microsoft Office Access 2003 and Microsoft Office Access 2007. For more information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section. The update addresses the vulnerabilities by updating specific Access ActiveX controls and by modifying the way memory is accessed by Microsoft Office and by Internet Explorer when loading Access ActiveX controls. For more information about the vulnerability, see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) subsection for the specific vulnerability entry under the next section, Vulnerability Information. Affected Software Microsoft Office Access 2003 Service Pack 3 Microsoft Office Access 2007 Service Pack 1 Microsoft Office Access 2007 Service Pack 2 Vulnerability Information Access ActiveX Control Vulnerability- CVE-2010-0814 A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Access ActiveX controls due to the way that multiple ActiveX controls are loaded by Internet Explorer. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code as 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. ACCWIZ.dll Uninitialized Variable Vulnerability - CVE-2010-1881 A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the FieldList ActiveX control is instantiated by Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer.
