December Patch Tuesday Update


Application Compatibility Update with Dell Software's ChangeBASE
Executive Summary
With this December Microsoft Patch Tuesday update, there are 11 updates; 5 of which are marked as “Critical” and 6 rated as “Important”.

The Patch Tuesday Security Update analysis was performed by the Dell ChangeBASE Patch Impact team and identified a small percentage of applications from the thousands of applications included in testing for this release which showed amber issues.

Of the eleven patches, 4 "require a restart to load correctly", and 5 "may require a restart", and 2 indicate they "do not need a re-start" so until we see all patches in the "do not require a restart" our advice is that it is probably best to assume all require a restart to be installed correctly.

Sample Results
Here are two sample results showing amber warnings generated as a result of patches MS-096 & MS-099.

Impact
Important - Information Disclosure

MS13-105
Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Exchange Server Could Allow Remote Code Execution (KB2915705)
Description
This security update resolves three publicly disclosed vulnerabilities and one privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Exchange Server. The most severe of these vulnerabilities exist in the WebReady Document Viewing and Data Loss Prevention features of Microsoft Exchange Server. These vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution in the security context of the LocalService account if an attacker sends an email message containing a specially crafted file to a user on an affected Exchange server. The LocalService account has minimum privileges on the local system and presents anonymous credentials on the network.
Payload
No specific file payload
Impact
Critical - Remote Code Execution

MS13-106
Vulnerability in a Microsoft Office Shared Component Could Allow Security Feature (KB2905238)
Description
This security update resolves one publicly disclosed vulnerability in a Microsoft Office shared component that is currently being exploited. The vulnerability could allow security feature bypass if a user views a specially crafted webpage in a web browser capable of instantiating COM components, such as Internet Explorer. In a web-browsing attack scenario, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) security feature, which helps protect users from a broad class of vulnerabilities. The security feature bypass by itself does not allow arbitrary code execution. However, an attacker could use this ASLR bypass vulnerability in conjunction with another vulnerability, such as a remote code execution vulnerability that could take advantage of the ASLR bypass to run arbitrary code.
Payload
No specific file payload
Impact
Important - Security Feature Bypass

* All results are based on the ChangeBASE Application Compatibility Lab's test portfolio of over 3000 applications.
