1.0 Introduction

The Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) is designed to help customers with their defense in depth strategies against cyberattacks, by helping detect and block exploitation techniques that are commonly used to exploit memory corruption vulnerabilities. EMET anticipates the most common actions and techniques adversaries might use in compromising a computer, and helps protect by diverting, terminating, blocking, and invalidating those actions and techniques. EMET helps protect your computer systems even before new and undiscovered threats are formally addressed by security updates and antimalware software.

MyCERT is aware of a vulnerability in Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) versions prior to 5.5.

 

2.0 Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to bypass or disable EMET to take control of an affected system.

1.0 Introduction

Microsoft has released nine updates to address vulnerabilities in Microsoft software. Exploitation of some of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to take control of an affected system. Users and administrators are encouraged to review Microsoft Security Bulletins MS16-001 through MS16-010 and apply the necessary updates.

2.0 The list of the Important vulnerabilities is as below:

2.1    Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (3124903)  
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. The more severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage using Internet Explorer. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
Patch: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=717999

2.2    Cumulative Security Update for Microsoft Edge (3124904)
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Edge. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage using Microsoft Edge. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current user. Customers whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
Patch: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=718002

2.3   Cumulative Security Update for JScript and VBScript to Address Remote Code Execution (3125540)
This security update resolves a vulnerability in the VBScript scripting engine in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user visits a specially crafted website.
