HIGH 7.8

DescriptionCVE.org

Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, and Windows RT Gold and 8.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted OLE object, as exploited in the wild in October 2014 with a crafted PowerPoint document.

AnalysisAI

Windows OLE improperly handles crafted OLE objects in PowerPoint, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This is a variant of the Sandworm OLE attack discovered in October 2014 via crafted PowerPoint presentations.

Technical ContextAI

Similar to CVE-2014-4114, this vulnerability exploits Windows OLE's handling of embedded objects in PowerPoint files. The attacker embeds a crafted OLE object that triggers code execution during document processing, but through a different code path than the original Sandworm flaw.

RemediationAI

Apply Microsoft security update MS14-064 (which addresses both CVE-2014-4114 and CVE-2014-6352). Implement application whitelisting to prevent OLE-triggered code execution.
