VRT Rules 2014-09-09
The VRT is aware of vulnerabilities affecting products from Microsoft Corporation.

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS14-052: Internet Explorer suffers from programming errors that may lead to remote code execution.

Previously released rules will detect attacks targeting these vulnerabilities and have been updated with the appropriate reference information. They are included in this release and are identified with GID 1, SIDs 29821 through 29822, and 30110 through 30113.

New rules to detect attacks targeting these vulnerabilities are also included in this release and are identified with GID 1, SIDs 31782 through 31791, 31794 through 31797, 31799 through 31802, and 31809 through 31812.

The VRT has added and modified multiple rules in the blacklist, browser-ie, exploit-kit, file-office, indicator-compromise and server-webapp rule sets to provide coverage for emerging threats from these technologies.
