Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2015-6097 is a Windows Journal flaw that could let an attacker run code if a user opens a malicious Journal (.jnt) file. The affected platforms named in the bundle are Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2/R2 SP1, and Windows 7 SP1. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows systems where Windows Journal can open .jnt files, especially endpoints or servers receiving untrusted files by email, web download, or file share. Treat as high priority where affected legacy Windows systems still exist. The business risk is code execution from a malicious document, but urgency depends on whether those systems remain in use and can receive untrusted files. Mitigation focus: Use Microsoft MS15-114 to identify and apply the relevant security update.; Inventory systems for the affected Windows versions named in the CVE.; Restrict handling of .jnt files from untrusted sources where feasible..
