- CVE-2018-0861 - Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Important Vulnerabilities
This month, Microsoft is addressing 38 vulnerabilities that are rated "important." Talos believes one of these vulnerabilities is notable and requires prompt attention. These are detailed below.
CVE-2018-0850 - Microsoft Outlook Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
A elevation of privilege vulnerability has been identified in Microsoft Outlook that manifest when it initiates processing of incoming messages without sufficient validation of the formatting of the messages. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could attempt to force Outlook to load a local or remote message store (over SMB). To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker could send a specially crafted email to a victim. Outlook would then attempt to open a pre-configured message store contained in the email upon receipt of the email.
Other vulnerabilities deemed Important are listed below:
- CVE-2018-0742 - Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
- CVE-2018-0755 - Windows EOT Font Engine Information Disclosure Vulnerability
