7. Shavlik Priority: Shavlik rates this bulletin as a Priority 1. This means you should update as soon as possible on all systems. Recommendation is within 2 weeks of release. User targeted vulnerabilities To exploit this vulnerability, a locally authenticated attacker could run a specially crafted application. To exploit the vulnerability, a locally authenticated attacker could use Windows Task Scheduler to schedule a new task with a malicious UNC path. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would have to convince a user to load a malformed image file from either a webpage or an email message.
8. Shavlik Priority: Shavlik rates this bulletin as a Priority 1. This means you should update as soon as possible on all systems. Recommendation is within 2 weeks of release. User Targeted - Privilege Management Mitigates Impact Microsoft Video Control Remote Code Execution Vulnerability – CVE-2016-7248 A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Microsoft Video Control fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the 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 take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would have to convince a user to open either a specially crafted file or application from either a webpage or an email message. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft Video Control handles objects in memory. Note that where the severity is indicated as Critical in the Affected Software and Vulnerability Severity Ratings table, the Outlook Preview Pane is an attack vector for CVE-2016-7248.
9. Shavlik Priority: Shavlik rates this bulletin as a Priority 1. This means you should update as soon as possible on all systems. Recommendation is within 2 weeks of release. User targeted vulnerabilities – Privilege Management Mitigates Impact CVE-2016-7256 (Exploited) Open Type Font Remote Code Execution Vulnerability – CVE-2016-7256 A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Windows font library improperly handles specially crafted embedded fonts. An attacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. There are multiple ways an attacker could exploit the vulnerability: •In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit the vulnerability and then convince users to view the website. An attacker would have no way to force users to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to take action, typically by getting them to click a link in an email or Instant Messenger message that takes users to the attacker's website, or by opening an attachment sent through email. •In a file sharing attack scenario, an attacker could provide a specially crafted document file that is designed to exploit the vulnerability, and then convince users to open the document file. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows font library handles embedded fonts.

12. Shavlik Priority: Shavlik rates this bulletin as a Priority 1. This means you should update as soon as possible on all systems. Recommendation is within 2 weeks of release. User Targeted - Privilege Management Mitigates Impact CVE-2016-7199 (Publicly Disclosed) Multiple Microsoft Browser Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in the way that Microsoft browsers access objects in memory. The vulnerabilities could corrupt memory in a way that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, the attacker could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. An attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit the vulnerabilities through Microsoft browsers, and then convince a user to view the website. The attacker could also take advantage of compromised websites, or websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements, by adding specially crafted content that could exploit the vulnerabilities. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to take action, typically via an enticement in email or instant message, or by getting them to open an email attachment. The update addresses the vulnerabilities by modifying how Microsoft browsers handle objects in memory. Microsoft Browser Information Disclosure Vulnerability CVE-2016-7199 (Publicly Disclosed) An information disclosure vulnerability exists when affected Microsoft browsers improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could allow an attacker to obtain browser window state from a different domain. For an attack to be successful, an attacker must persuade a user to open a malicious website from a secure website. The update addresses the vulnerability by changing how Microsoft browsers handles objects in memory.
