The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if a user clicks a specially crafted URL that takes them to a targeted Outlook Web App site. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit a specially crafted website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince them to visit the website, typically by getting them to click a link in an instant messenger or email message that takes them to the attacker's website, and then convince them to click the specially crafted URL. Executive Summary This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Exchange Server. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if a user clicks a specially crafted URL that takes them to a targeted Outlook Web App site. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit a specially crafted website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince them to visit the website, typically by getting them to click a link in an instant messenger or email message that takes them to the attacker's website, and then convince them to click the specially crafted URL. This security update is rated Important for all supported editions of Microsoft Exchange Server 2013. Affected Software The following software versions or editions are affected. Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Service Pack 1 Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 7 Vulnerability Information Multiple OWA XSS Vulnerabilities Elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist when Microsoft Exchange Server does not properly sanitize page content in Outlook Web App. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by modifying certain properties within Outlook Web App and then convincing users to browse to the targeted Outlook Web App site. An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could run script in the context of the current user. The script could then, for example, use the victim's identity to take actions on the affected Outlook Web App site on behalf of the victim with the same permissions as the current user. Any system that is used to access an affected version of Outlook Web App would potentially be at risk to attack. The update addresses the vulnerabilities by correcting how Exchange Server sanitizes page content in Outlook Web App. For these vulnerabilities to be exploited, a user must click a specially crafted URL that takes the user to a targeted Outlook Web App site. In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerabilities by sending an email message containing the specially crafted URL to the user of the targeted Outlook Web App site and convincing the user to click the specially crafted URL. In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker would have to host a website that contains a specially crafted URL to the targeted Outlook Web App site that is used to attempt to exploit these vulnerabilities. In addition, compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content could contain specially crafted content that could exploit these vulnerabilities. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit a specially crafted website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince them to visit the website, typically by getting them to click a link in an instant messenger or email message that takes them to the attacker's website, and then convince them to click the specially crafted URL. Vulnerability title CVE number Publicly Disclosed Exploited OWA Modified Canary Parameter CVE-2015-1628 No No Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability ExchangeDLP Cross Site CVE-2015-1629 No No Scripting Vulnerability Audit Report Cross Site CVE-2015-1630 No No Scripting Vulnerability Exchange Error Message Cross CVE-2015-1632 No No Site Scripting Vulnerability Exchange Forged Meeting Request Spoofing Vulnerability - CVE-2015-1631 A spoofing vulnerability exists in Exchange Server when Exchange fails to properly validate meeting organizer identity when accepting or modifying meeting requests. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could then use the vulnerability to schedule or modify meetings while appearing to originate from a legitimate meeting organizer. Customers using affected versions of Exchange Server are at risk for this vulnerability. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way Exchange validates meeting organizer authenticity when accepting, scheduling, or modifying meeting requests in Exchange calendars. Microsoft received information about this vulnerability through coordinated vulnerability disclosure. When this security bulletin was issued, Microsoft had not received any information to indicate that this vulnerability had been publicly used to attack customers. - --------------------------END INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- You have received this e-mail bulletin as a result of your organisation's registration with AusCERT.
