Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for September 2014 Issued: September 9, 2014

************************************************************************************************************************************************
By Brian Prince on September 09, 2014
Microsoft issued a patch today for a vulnerability in Internet Explorer (IE) that has been targeted in attacks as part of its monthly Patch Tuesday update.
The vulnerability - CVE-2013-7331 - is one of 37 IE security vulnerabilities addressed by MS14-052. According to Microsoft, the vulnerability is an information disclosure issue and is caused when the XMLDOM ActiveX control allows local resources to be enumerated.
"The bulletin fixes a zero-day vulnerability CVE-2013-7331 in IE which allows remote attackers to determine the existence of local pathnames, UNC share pathnames, intranet hostnames, and intranet IP addresses by examining error codes," said Amol Sarwate, director of vulnerability labs at Qualys. "This can be used by malware to check if anti-malware products or EMET is installed on the target system so that it can possible change its attack strategy."
The most severe of the bugs addressed by the IE bulletin can be exploited to allow remote code execution if a user views a specially-crafted webpage using IE, Microsoft explained in its advisory.
