The attack vector is a bit vague, and I'm not sure how to bring this news to some of my clients.

Is the exploit only for when running services on/to the internet (IIS, Exchange webmail, etc - ) , or is visiting an https (TLS) website on and end-user enough to make the exploit happen (even in Firefox/Chrome and behind a tradional proxy server).

Sadly Microsoft does not explain the exact parameters that make this exploit tick - this makes risk assessment hard.

Indeed it does make it tricky, but I think they purposely left out some details for the time being.
