CVE-2017-8572 is fixed in 8 products on 1 platform, first by KB3213643, released July 27, 2017. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
<p>An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Microsoft Outlook fails to properly validate authentication requests.</p> <p>To exploit the vulnerability an attacker would have to trick a user into browsing to a malicious website or to an SMB or UNC path destination. Alternatively the attacker could convince a user to load a malicious document that initiates an NTLM validation request without the consent of the user. An attacker who successfully tricked a user into disclosing the user's NTLM hash could attempt a brute-force attack to disclose the corresponding hash password.</p> <p>The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Outlook validates authentication requests.</p>
