Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2 up to Server 2012 R2 (Operating System) and classified as critical. This issue affects an unknown code block of the component OLE Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The weakness was published 10/21/2014 by Drew Hintz, Shane Huntley, Matty Pellegrino, Haifei Li and Bing Sun (McAfee) with Google Security Team as Microsoft Security Advisory 3010060 as confirmed bulletin (Technet). The advisory is shared at technet.microsoft.com. The public release happened without involvement of Microsoft. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2014-6352 since 09/11/2014. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 04/22/2026). MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1059 for this issue. Due to its background and reception, this vulnerability has a historic impact.

A public exploit has been developed by Abhishek Lyall in Ruby and been published 4 weeks after the advisory. The exploit is available at securityfocus.com. It is declared as attacked. We expect the 0-day to have been worth approximately $25k-$100k.
