Cyber Risks · Cisco Talos

Rule release for today, Tuesday November 9th, 2010

Summary: Cisco Talos released rules on Tuesday, November 9th, 2010, covering three Microsoft security advisories: MS10-087 for Microsoft Office, MS10-088 for Microsoft Office PowerPoint, and MS10-089 for Microsoft ForeFront United Gateway. Each advisory describes programming errors that may allow a remote attacker to execute code on an affected system.

Key Takeaway: Three separate Microsoft products carried remote code execution flaws in the same patch cycle, and the Office and PowerPoint ones sit on the desktop where users open files without a second thought.
