(MS11-091) Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Publisher Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2607702)

  Severity: HIGH
  CVE Identifier: CVE-2011-1508,CVE-2011-3410,CVE-2011-3411,CVE-2011-3412
  Advisory Date: DEC 14, 2011

  DESCRIPTION

This security update resolves one publicly disclosed vulnerability and three privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office. The most severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Publisher file. An attacker who successfully exploited any of these vulnerabilities could take complete control of an 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.
