Vulnerability Note VU#138188

Microsoft Outlook Web Access for Exchange Server script injection vulnerability

Overview

A script injection vulnerability exists in Microsoft Exchange Server running Outlook Web Access.

I. Description

Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) is a service of Exchange Server. OWA allows authorized users to read and send email, manage their calendar, and perform other functions on an Exchange server via the Web.

Outlook Web Access fails to correctly filter script contained in an email message under certain circumstances. This results in a vulnerability that could allow an attacker to supply script that would be executed by a user using OWA to read email.

II. Impact
