Version: 1.0
Published Date: October 14, 2014
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft
Windows. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a
Microsoft Office file that contains a specially crafted OLE object. An
attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary
code in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with
administrative user rights, an attacker could then install programs; view,
change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
Customers whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the

rights.
