Microsoft Windows Knowledge Base Article 978207 update is not installed
| win-ms10kb978207-update (55779) |  High Risk |
Description:
Microsoft Windows Knowledge Base Article 978207 update is not installed on the system, which could allow an attacker to exploit the following vulnerabilities:
Microsoft Internet Explorer could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a cross-site scripting filter bypass vulnerability when Internet Explorer disables an HTML attribute in valid response data. By persuading a victim to click on a specially-crafted URL or visit a malicious Web site, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site to perform unauthorized actions and obtain sensitive information.
Microsoft Internet Explorer could allow a remote attacker to execute code on the system, caused by a use-after-free error. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web page, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to access an invalid pointer associated with a deleted object to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the victim.
Microsoft Internet Explorer could allow a remote attacker to execute code on the system, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. By persuading a victim to click on a specially-crafted URL, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute a binary from the local client system.
Microsoft Internet Explorer could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an error when attempting to access a deleted or improperly initialized object. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web page, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the victim.
Microsoft Internet Explorer could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an error when attempting to access a deleted or uninitialized object. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web page, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the victim.

- CVE-2009-4074: The XSS Filter in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 allows remote attackers to leverage the response-changing mechanism to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against web sites that have no inherent XSS vulnerabilities, related to the details of output encoding and improper modification of an HTML attribute, aka XSS Filter Script Handling Vulnerability.
- CVE-2010-0027: The URL validation functionality in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, 6 SP1, 7 and 8, and the ShellExecute API function in Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 and SP3, and Server 2003 SP2, does not properly process input parameters, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary local programs via a crafted URL, aka URL Validation Vulnerability.
- CVE-2010-0244: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 6 SP1, 7, and 8 does not properly handle objects in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by accessing an object that (1) was not properly initialized or (2) is deleted, leading to memory corruption, aka Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability
- CVE-2010-0245: Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 does not properly handle objects in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by accessing an object that (1) was not properly initialized or (2) is deleted, leading to memory corruption, aka Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability
- CVE-2010-0246: Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 does not properly handle objects in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by accessing an object that (1) was not properly initialized or (2) is deleted, leading to memory corruption, aka Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability
- CVE-2010-0247: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4, 6, and 6 SP1 does not properly handle objects in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by accessing an object that (1) was not properly initialized or (2) is deleted, leading to memory corruption, aka Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability.
- CVE-2010-0248: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 6 SP1, 7, and 8 does not properly handle objects in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by accessing an object that (1) was not properly initialized or (2) is deleted, leading to memory corruption, aka HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability.
- CVE-2010-0249: Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 6 SP1, 7, and 8 on Windows 2000 SP4; Windows XP SP2 and SP3; Windows Server 2003 SP2; Windows Vista Gold, SP1, and SP2; Windows Server 2008 Gold, SP2, and R2; and Windows 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by accessing a pointer associated with a deleted object, related to incorrectly initialized memory and improper handling of objects in memory, as exploited in the wild in December 2009 and January 2010 during Operation Aurora, aka HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability.
