Rule Release for Today, Tuesday August 10th, 2010
Summary: Cisco Talos released detection rules for eleven Microsoft Security Advisories, MS10-046 through MS10-061, each covering a vulnerability that may allow a remote attacker to execute code on an affected system. The release updates previously issued rules for the Windows Shell flaw (GID 1, SIDs 17042 and 17043) and adds new rules for flaws in Movie Maker, MSXML2 ActiveX, Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, SMB, Office Word, Office Excel, Silverlight, and .NET, identified by GID 3 SIDs including 17113 through 17135.
Bottom line: Eleven remote code execution advisories in a single Microsoft release, spanning the shell, SMB, Internet Explorer, Office, Silverlight, and .NET, means detection coverage had to be updated across nearly every layer of a Windows estate at once.
