Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Related to This Security Update
If I have applied the workaround from Microsoft Security Advisory 972890, do I need to install this security update?
Microsoft Security Advisory 972890 describes a workaround that prevents the Microsoft Video ActiveX Control from running in Internet Explorer. Customers can either manually apply this workaround or use the automated Microsoft Fix it solution in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 972890 to enable the workaround. Customers who have applied this workaround using either method do not need to install this security update.
This update will be offered to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 systems regardless of whether the workaround was applied. However, the vulnerability addressed by this update does not affect supported editions of Windows Server 2008 if Windows Server 2008 was installed using the Server Core installation option, and such Server Core installations will not be offered this update. Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 systems will not be offered this update if the workaround has been applied. All customers may install this security update without negative impact.
Customers who want this update to be offered to Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 systems must remove the kill bit settings previously applied by the workaround by deleting the registry keys referenced in the workaround, "Prevent COM objects from running in Internet Explorer."
Do I need to undo the workaround from Microsoft Security Advisory 972890 before installing this security update?
Customers do not need to undo the workaround described in Microsoft Security Advisory 972890, whether this workaround was applied manually, or automatically using the Microsoft Fix it solution in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 972890 to enable the workaround, before installing this update.
What would happen if I install this update and then undo the workaround from Microsoft Security Advisory 972890?
In this scenario, customers of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 install this security update for defense-in-depth and then either manually undo the workaround from Microsoft Security Advisory 972890, or use the automated Microsoft Fix it solution in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 972890 to disable the workaround. Such customers will no longer prevent the Microsoft Video ActiveX Control from running in Internet Explorer, making their systems vulnerable. Also, such systems will not be reoffered this update since future detection results will yield the successful installation that was undone by workaround.
Does this Cumulative Security Update for ActiveX Kill Bits contain the kill bits described in Microsoft Security Advisory 973472? No, this update does not include the kill bits for preventing the Office Web Components (OWC) Library from running in Internet Explorer, described in Microsoft Security Advisory 973472. To set those kill bits, follow the guidance in the Workaround section of that advisory.
What kill bits does this Cumulative Security Update of ActiveX Kill Bits contain?
This Cumulative Security Update of ActiveX Kill Bits contains all kill bits previously released in MS08-023, Security Update of ActiveX Kill Bits; MS08-032, Cumulative Security Update of ActiveX Kill Bits; and advisories entitled Update Rollup for ActiveX Kill Bits, Microsoft Security Advisory 953839, Microsoft Security Advisory 956391, Microsoft Security Advisory 960715, and Microsoft Security Advisory 969898.
What is a kill bit? A security feature in Microsoft Internet Explorer makes it possible to prevent an ActiveX control from ever being loaded by the Internet Explorer HTML-rendering engine. This is done by making a registry setting and is referred to as setting the kill bit. After the kill bit is set, the control can never be loaded, even when it is fully installed. Setting the kill bit makes sure that even if a vulnerable component is introduced or is re-introduced to a system, it remains inert and harmless.
For more information on kill bits, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 240797: How to stop an ActiveX control from running in Internet Explorer.
What is a security update of ActiveX kill bits?
This security update only contains the class IDs (CLSID) of certain ActiveX controls that are the basis of this security update. This security bulletin lists these CLSIDs in the Vulnerability Section.
Why does this update not contain any binary files? This update only makes changes to the registry to disable the control from instantiating in Internet Explorer.
Should I install this update if I do not have the affected component installed or use the affected platform? Yes. Installing this update will block the vulnerable control from running in Internet Explorer.
Do I need to reapply this update if I install an ActiveX control discussed in this security update at a later date? No, reapplying this update is not required. The kill bit will block Internet Explorer from running the control even if the control is installed at a later date.
Does this update contain any kill bits that are not Microsoft-specific?
All new kill bits in this update apply only to a Microsoft control. However, since this is a cumulative security update, this update includes kill bits that Microsoft has issued for both Microsoft and non-Microsoft ActiveX controls.
Does this update contain kill bits that were previously shipped in an Internet Explorer security update? No, this update does not include kill bits that were previously shipped in an Internet Explorer security update. We recommend that you install the latest Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer.
Why does this security update have different severity levels for different Windows operating systems? This update has different severity levels because different mitigations apply to the vulnerability depending on the operating system. One such mitigation is that Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 runs in a restricted mode known as Enhanced Security Configuration.
I am using an older release of the software discussed in this security bulletin. What should I do?

Microsoft Video ActiveX Control Vulnerability - CVE-2008-0015
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Microsoft Video ActiveX Control, msvidctl.dll. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web page, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged on user.
To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures list, see CVE-2008-0015.
Mitigating Factors for Microsoft Video ActiveX Control Vulnerability - CVE-2008-0015
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:
- Customers who are using Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 are not affected because the ability to pass data to this control within Internet Explorer has been restricted.
- By default, Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 runs in a restricted mode that is known as Enhanced Security Configuration. This mode sets the security level for the Internet zone to High. This is a mitigating factor for Web sites that you have not added to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone. See the FAQ subsection of this vulnerability section for more information about Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration.
- By default, all supported versions of Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express open HTML e-mail messages in the Restricted sites zone. The Restricted sites zone helps mitigate attacks that could try to exploit this vulnerability by preventing Active Scripting and ActiveX controls from being used when reading HTML e-mail messages. However, if a user clicks a link in an e-mail message, the user could still be vulnerable to exploitation of this vulnerability through the Web-based attack scenario.
- In a Web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a Web site that contains a Web page that is used to exploit this vulnerability. In addition, compromised Web sites and Web sites that accept or host user-provided content could contain specially crafted content that could exploit this vulnerability. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit the Web site, typically by getting them to click a link in an e-mail or Instant Messenger message that takes users to the attacker's Web site.
- An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
Workarounds for Microsoft Video ActiveX Control Vulnerability - CVE-2008-0015
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:
Prevent COM objects from running in Internet Explorer
You can disable attempts to instantiate a COM object in Internet Explorer by setting the kill bit for the control in the registry.
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
For detailed steps that you can use to prevent a control from running in Internet Explorer, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 240797. Follow these steps in this article to create a Compatibility Flags value in the registry to prevent a COM object from being instantiated in Internet Explorer.
Note The Class Identifiers and corresponding files where the ActiveX objects are contained are documented under "What does the update do?" in the FAQ for Microsoft Video ActiveX Control Vulnerability - CVE-2008-0015 section. Replace {XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX} below with the Class Identifiers found in that section.
To set the kill bit for a CLSID with a value of {XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}, paste the following text in a text editor such as Notepad. Then, save the file by using the .reg file name extension.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{ XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX }]
"Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400You can apply this .reg file to individual systems by double-clicking it. You can also apply it across domains by using Group Policy. For more information about Group Policy, visit the following Microsoft Web sites:
Note You must restart Internet Explorer for your changes to take effect.
Impact of Workaround: There is no impact as long as the object is not intended to be used in Internet Explorer.
FAQ for Microsoft Video ActiveX Control Vulnerability - CVE-2008-0015
What is the scope of the vulnerability?
This is a remote code execution vulnerability. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if the user visits a specially crafted Web page with Internet Explorer, instantiating the ActiveX control. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged-on user.
If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
What causes the vulnerability?
When the Microsoft Video ActiveX Control is instantiated in Internet Explorer, the control may corrupt the system state in such a way that an attacker could run arbitrary code.
What is the Microsoft Video ActiveX Control?
The Microsoft Video Control object is a Microsoft ActiveX control that connects Microsoft DirectShow filters for use in capturing, recording, and playing video. It is the main component that Microsoft Windows Media Center uses to build filter graphs for recording and playing television video.
What might an attacker use the vulnerability to do?
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?
An attacker could host a specially crafted Web site that is designed to exploit this vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the Web site. This can also include compromised Web sites and Web sites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements. These Web sites could contain specially crafted content that could exploit this vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit these Web sites. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit the Web site, typically by getting them to click a link in an e-mail message or in an Instant Messenger request that takes users to the attacker's Web site. It could also be possible to display specially crafted Web content by using banner advertisements or by using other methods to deliver Web content to affected systems.
I am running Internet Explorer for Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008. Do I need to install this update?
Though unaffected by this vulnerability, Microsoft is recommending that Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 customers remove support for this ActiveX Control within Internet Explorer, using the same Class Identifiers listed below, as a defense-in-depth measure.
I am running Internet Explorer for Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008. Does this mitigate this vulnerability?
Yes. By default, Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 runs in a restricted mode that is known as Enhanced Security Configuration. Enhanced Security Configuration is a group of preconfigured settings in Internet Explorer that can reduce the likelihood of a user or administrator downloading and running specially crafted Web content on a server. This is a mitigating factor for Web sites that you have not added to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone. See also Managing Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration.
What systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerability?
This vulnerability requires that a user be logged on and visiting a Web site for any malicious action to occur. Therefore, any systems where Internet Explorer is used frequently, such as workstations or terminal servers, are at the most risk from this vulnerability.
What does the update do?
The Microsoft Video ActiveX Control was never intended to be instantiated in Internet Explorer and can therefore be disabled by setting the kill bit for the Class Identifiers hosted in msvidctl.dll:
