MS06-021 Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (916281): Internet Explorer was found to contain several vulnerabilities, which resulting exploitation could possibly cause memory corruption, address bar spoofing and/or information disclosure. The worst of these issues could potentially allow an attacker to take complete control over a computer if exploited in an Internet Explorer session run by someone with administrator privileges. The Avaya Modular Messaging Message Application Server, S8100, and UCC are affected by these vulnerabilities. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2006-2218, CVE-2006-2382, CVE-2006-2383, CVE-2006-1303, CVE-2005-4089, CVE-2006-2384, CVE-2006-2385, and CVE-2006-1626 to these issues.

MS06-022 Vulnerability in ART Image Rendering Could Allow Remote Code Execution (918439):A vulnerability was found in the way Microsoft Windows renders AOL ART image file types. If an attacker can trick a user into opening a specially crafted AOL ART image file, it may be possible to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user viewing the file. If the user has administrator privileges, this could possibly allow the attacker to completely control the system in question. Avaya system products do not utilize AOL ART image format and are therefore not affected by this vulnerability. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)has assigned the name CVE-2006-2378 to the issue.

MS06-023 Vulnerability in Microsoft JScript Could Allow Remote Code Execution (917344): Due to a memory corruption error in Microsoft JScript, an attacker who has carefully constructed a web page or HTML email containing JScript could possibly gain access over a remote system. This memory corruption error could possibly allow arbitrary code execution with the permissions of the user viewing the web page or HTML email containing malicious JScript. If the user viewing the web page or HTML email has administrator privileges, this could possibly allow the attacker to take control of the system. Avaya system products do not utilize Microsoft JScript and are therefore not affected by this vulnerability. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2006-1313 to this issue.

MS06-024 Vulnerability in Windows Media Player Could Allow Remote Code Execution (917734): Windows Media Player was found to contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the way it processes PNG image file types. If a user loads a carefully constructed PNG image from a web page, email or other source inside of Windows Media Player, it may be possible to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Windows Media Player. If the user running Windows Media Player has administrator rights, this could possibly allow control of the system to be taken over by the author of the malicious PNG image file. Avaya system products do not utilize Windows Media Player and are therefore not affected by this vulnerability. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2006-0025 to this issue.

MS06-025 Vulnerability in Routing and Remote Access Could Allow Remote Code Execution (911280): The Routing and Remote Access Service in Microsoft Windows was found to contain possible remote arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities.
