The MSHTML platform is used by Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge as well as other applications through WebBrowser control. The EdgeHTML platform is used by WebView and some UWP applications. The scripting platforms are used by MSHTML and EdgeHTML but can also be used by other legacy applications. Updates to address vulnerabilities in the MSHTML platform and scripting engine are included in the IE Cumulative Updates; EdgeHTML and Chakra changes are not applicable to those pl...

**Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?** No, the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.

**Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?** No, the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.

**Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?** No, the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.

**I am running SharePoint Enterprise Server 2013 Service Pack 1. Do I need to install both updates that are listed for SharePoint Enterprise Server 2013 Service Pack 1?** No. The Cumulative update for SharePoint Server 2013 includes the update for Foundation Server 2013.

Please note that this is a clarification of the existing servicing model for SharePoint Server 2013 and applies for all previous updates.

**Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?** No, the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.

See Azure RTOS Overview for more information. **What is Azure RTOS GUIX Studio?** Azure GUIX embedded GUI is Microsoft’s advanced, industrial grade GUI solution designed specifically for deeply embedded, real-time, and IoT applications. Microsoft also provides a full-featured WYSIWYG desktop design tool named Azure RTOS GUIX Studio, which allows developers to design their GUI on the desktop and generate Azure RTOS GUIX embedded GUI code that can then be exported to the target. See Azure RTOS GUIX and Azure RTOS GUIX Studio for more information.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server via ODBC, which could result in the server receiving a malicious networking packet. This could allow the attacker to execute code remotely on the client.
