MS16-136 - Important: Security Update for SQL Server (3199641) - Version: 1.0
Multiple SQL RDBMS Engine Elevation of Privilege Vulnerabilities
Elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft SQL Server when it improperly handles pointer casting. An attacker could exploit the vulnerabilities if their credentials allow access to an affected SQL server database. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could gain elevated privileges that could be used to view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts.
The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by correcting how SQL Server handles pointer casting
Need to make the description plural for the bulletin.

MDS API XSS Vulnerability- CVE-2016-7251
An XSS elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in SQL Server MDS that could allow an attacker to inject a client-side script into the user's instance of Internet Explorer. The vulnerability is caused when the SQL Server MDS does not properly validate a request parameter on the SQL Server site. The script could spoof content, disclose information, or take any action that the user could take on the site on behalf of the targeted user.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how SQL Server MDS validates the request parameter.

SQL Analysis Services Information Disclosure Vulnerability– CVE-2016-7252
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Microsoft SQL Analysis Services when it improperly checks FILESTREAM path. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability if their credentials allow access to an affected SQL server database. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain additional database and file information.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how SQL Server handles FILESTREAM path.
