TippingPoint, a division of 3Com has announced that its TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) will provide protection against all the vulnerabilities disclosed in the bulletins announced by Microsoft.
TippingPoint devices were inoculated against these threats through the Digital Vaccine service, a remote update service that provides protection against the latest threats. TippingPoint provides vulnerability protection in the form of 'Virtual Software Patches' to pre-emptively protect customers against exploits, malware, and worms.
“With today's Microsoft Bulletins, we see a continued trend toward vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office file formats,” said Rohit Dhamankar, senior manager of security research at TippingPoint. “The vulnerability in the publisher file format could be exploited for targeted attacks against organisations since many businesses use this software.”
The TippingPoint IPS provides protection for the following security bulletins announced by Microsoft:
MS06-052: vulnerability in Pragmatic General Multicast Could Allow Remote Code Execution
MS06-053: vulnerability in Indexing Service Could Allow Cross-Site Scripting
MS06-054: vulnerability in Microsoft Publisher Could Allow Remote Code Execution
