Microsoft : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In April 2014

The XML parser in Microsoft Office 2007 SP3, 2010 SP1 and SP2, and 2013, and Office for Mac 2011, does not properly detect recursion during entity expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and persistent application hang) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references, as demonstrated by a crafted text/plain e-mail message to Outlook, a similar issue to CVE-2003-1564.

Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via vectors related to the CMarkup::IsConnectedToPrimaryMarkup function, as exploited in the wild in April 2014. NOTE: this issue originally emphasized VGX.DLL, but Microsoft clarified that "VGX.DLL does not contain the vulnerable code leveraged in this exploit. Disabling VGX.DLL is an exploit-specific workaround that provides an immediate, effective workaround to help block known attacks."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 through 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site, as demonstrated by Sebastian Apelt and Andreas Schmidt during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2014. NOTE: the original disclosure referred to triggering a kernel bug with the Internet Explorer exploit payload, but this ID is not for a kernel vulnerability.

Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 11 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by Sebastian Apelt and Andreas Schmidt during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2014.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 through 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code and bypass a sandbox protection mechanism by leveraging "object confusion" in a broker process, as demonstrated by VUPEN during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2014.

Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 through 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code and bypass a sandbox protection mechanism via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by VUPEN during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2014.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with medium-integrity privileges and bypass a sandbox protection mechanism via unknown vectors, as demonstrated by ZDI during a Pwn4Fun competition at CanSecWest 2014.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site, aka "Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

pubconv.dll in Microsoft Publisher 2003 SP3 and 2007 SP3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted .pub file, aka "Arbitrary Pointer Dereference Vulnerability."

Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Word 2003 SP3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted document, aka "Microsoft Word Stack Overflow Vulnerability."

Microsoft Word 2007 SP3 and 2010 SP1 and SP2, and Office Compatibility Pack SP3, allocates memory incorrectly for file conversions from a binary (aka .doc) format to a newer format, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted document, aka "Microsoft Office File Format Converter Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site, aka "Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-0235 and CVE-2014-1751.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site, aka "Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site, aka "Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site, aka "Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-0235 and CVE-2014-1755.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, and Windows RT Gold and 8.1 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse cmd.exe file in the current working directory, as demonstrated by a directory that contains a .bat or .cmd file, aka "Windows File Handling Vulnerability."

CRLF injection vulnerability in the CGI implementation in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 4.x and 5.x on Windows NT and Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to modify arbitrary uppercase environment variables via a \n (newline) character in an HTTP header.
