Revision Note: V2.0 (April 26, 2012): Added Service Pack 1 versions of SQL Server 2008 R2 to the Affected Software and added an entry to the update FAQ to explain which SQL Server 2000 update to use based on version ranges. These are informational changes only. There were no changes to the security update files or detection logic. For a complete list of changes, see the entry to the section, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Related to This Security Update.
Summary: This security update resolves a privately disclosed vulnerability in Windows common controls. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user visits a website containing specially crafted content designed to exploit the vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit such a website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit the website, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or Instant Messenger message that takes them to the attacker's website. The malicious file could be sent as an email attachment as well, but the attacker would have to convince the user to open the attachment in order to exploit the vulnerability.
