MS16-079: Security Update for Microsoft Exchange Server (3160339)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 91612

Synopsis

The remote Microsoft Exchange Server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Microsoft Exchange Server is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- Multiple stack buffer overflow conditions exist in the Oracle Outside In subcomponent due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via a crafted file, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-6013, CVE-2015-6014, CVE-2015-6015)

- An email filter bypass flaw exists in the parsing of HTML messages. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted URLs in OWA messages, to identify, fingerprint, and track a user online if the user views email using Outlook Web Access.
(CVE-2016-0028)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Exchange Server 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016.
