Microsoft Updates for Multiple Vulnerabilities

   Original release date: September 11, 2007
   Last revised: --
   Source: US-CERT


Systems Affected

     * Microsoft Windows
     * Microsoft Visual Studio
     * Microsoft Windows Services for Unix
     * Microsoft MSN Messenger


Overview

   Microsoft has released updates that address critical vulnerabilities
   in Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft Windows
   Services for Unix, and Microsoft MSN Messenger. Exploitation of these
   vulnerabilities could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to
   execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service on a vulnerable
   system.


I. Description

   Microsoft has released updates to address vulnerabilities that affect
   Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft Windows Services
   for Unix and Microsoft MSN Messenger as part of the Microsoft Security
   Bulletin Summary for September 2007. The most severe vulnerabilities
   could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary
   code or cause a denial of service on a vulnerable system.

   Further information about the vulnerabilities addressed by these
   updates is available in the Vulnerability Notes Database.


II. Impact

   A remote, unauthenticated attacker could execute arbitrary code on a
   vulnerable system. An attacker may also be able to cause a denial of
   service.


III. Solution

Apply updates from Microsoft

   Microsoft has provided updates for these vulnerabilities in the
   September 2007 security bulletins. The security bulletins describe any
   known issues related to the updates. Administrators are encouraged to
   note any known issues that are described in the bulletins and test for
   any potentially adverse effects.

   System administrators should consider using an automated patch
   distribution system such as Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).
