MS12-027: Vulnerability in Windows Common Controls Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2664258)

high Nessus Plugin ID 58659

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

A memory corruption issue exists in Windows common controls, specifically within the MSCOMCTL.TreeView, MSCOMCTL.ListView2, MSCOMCTL.TreeView2, and MSCOMCTL.ListView controls component of MSCOMCTL.OCX, due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue by convincing a user to view a specially crafted web page, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Office 2003, 2007 and 2010; Office 2003 Web Components; SQL Server 2000, 2005, 2005 Express Edition, 2008, and 2008 R2; BizTalk Server 2002; Commerce Server 2002, 2007, 2009, and 2009 R2; Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8.0 and 9.0; and Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime.
