Microsoft Security Bulletin MS14-033 - Important
Vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services Could Allow Information Disclosure
(2966061)
Published: June 10, 2014
Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft
Windows. The vulnerability could allow information disclosure if a logged on
user visits a specially crafted website that is designed to invoke Microsoft
XML Core Services (MSXML) through Internet Explorer. In all cases, however, an
attacker would have no way to force users to visit such websites. Instead, an
attacker would have to convince users to visit a website, typically by getting
them to click a link in an email message or in an Instant Messenger request
that takes users to the attacker's website.
This security update for Microsoft XML Core Services 3.0 and Microsoft XML
Core Services 6.0 is rated Important on all supported releases of Microsoft
Windows clients and Low for all supported releases of Microsoft Windows
servers.
