Microsoft Office for Mac 2011	Important Elevation of Privilege	Important

Office for Mac Improper Folder Permissions Vulnerability - CVE-2012-1894 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that folder permissions are set in certain Microsoft Office for Mac installations. An attacker could place a malicious executable in the Microsoft Office 2011 folder. If a user later logs on and runs the malicious executable, attacker-provided code can be made to execute in the security context of the current user. If the user runs the malicious executable as an administrator, the attacker could take complete control over an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. The attacker would only be able to gain elevated privileges on the affected Mac computer if a user executed the malicious executable. This is not a direct elevation of privilege, but rather it is a luring attack. To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures list, see [CVE-2012-1894](http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=cve-2012-1894). #### Mitigating Factors for Office for Mac Improper Folder Permissions Vulnerability - CVE-2012-1894 Mitigation refers to a setting, common configuration, or general best-practice, existing in a default state, that could reduce the severity of exploitation of a vulnerability. The following mitigating factors may be helpful in your situation: - An attacker must have valid logon credentials and be able to log on locally to exploit this vulnerability. - An attacker could use the vulnerability to place a malicious executable in the Microsoft Office 2011 folder. However, the attacker would only be able to gain elevated privileges on the affected Mac computer if a user runs the malicious executable. This is not a direct elevation of privilege, but rather it is a luring attack. - This vulnerability does not affect Office for Mac 2011 installations in an upgrade scenario to Service Pack 2. #### Workarounds for Office for Mac Improper Folder Permissions Vulnerability - CVE-2012-1894 Workaround refers to a setting or configuration change that does not correct the underlying vulnerability but would help block known attack vectors before you apply the update. Microsoft has tested the following workarounds and states in the discussion whether a workaround reduces functionality: - **Remove write permission from others in affected folders** To manually change the permissions, run each of the following commands in /Applications/Utilities/Terminal: `/usr/bin/sudo /bin/chmod -R -P o-w /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/SharePointWebKitPlugin.webplugin/` `/usr/bin/sudo /bin/chmod -R -P o-w /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/SharePointBrowserPlugin.plugin/` `/usr/bin/sudo /bin/chmod -R -P o-w /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/` `/usr/bin/sudo /bin/chmod -R -P o-w /Library/Automator/` `/usr/bin/sudo /bin/chmod -R -P o-w /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/` #### FAQ for Office for Mac Improper Folder Permissions Vulnerability - CVE-2012-1894 **What is the scope of the vulnerability?** This is an elevation of privilege vulnerability. **What causes the vulnerability?** The vulnerability exists in the way folder permissions are set in certain installations of Microsoft Office for Mac. **What might an attacker use the vulnerability to do?** An attacker could place a malicious executable in the Microsoft Office 2011 folder. If a user later logs on and runs the malicious executable, attacker-provided code can be made to execute in the security context of the current user. If the user runs the malicious executable as an administrator, the attacker could take complete control over an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. The attacker would only be able to gain elevated privileges on the affected Mac computer if a user executed the malicious executable. This is not a direct elevation of privilege, but rather it is a luring attack. **How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?** To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to an affected system and place a malicious executable in the Microsoft Office 2011 folder. When a user later logs on and runs the malicious executable, the attacker-provided code can be made to execute in the security context of the current user. **What systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerability?** Shared workstations, such as those in libraries or internet cafes, are primarily at risk. **What does the update do?** The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the permission settings on the Microsoft Office 2011 folder and other affected folders. **When this security bulletin was issued, had this vulnerability been publicly disclosed?** Yes. This vulnerability has been publicly disclosed. It has been assigned Common Vulnerability and Exposure number [CVE-2012-1894](http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=cve-2012-1894). **When this security bulletin was issued, had Microsoft received any reports that this vulnerability was being exploited?** No. Microsoft had not received any information to indicate that this vulnerability had been publicly used to attack customers when this security bulletin was originally issued. ### Update Information Detection and Deployment Tools and Guidance ------------------------------------------- **Security Central** Manage the software and security updates you need to deploy to the servers, desktop, and mobile systems in your organization.
