Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Microsoft Office versions 2007 through 2016
Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack (affected versions not specified)
Microsoft Word (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is caused by a buffer overflow in memory due to improper handling of objects. Exploitation of the vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user has administrative user rights, the attacker could take control of the affected system, install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights. Users with fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted. Exploitation requires a user to open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Office or Microsoft WordPad software.
Recommendations
For Microsoft Office versions 2007 through 2016: Update to a version that properly handles objects in memory to prevent exploitation.
For Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack: Apply configuration changes to prevent improper handling of objects in memory.
For Microsoft Word: Avoid opening specially crafted files until a patch is available.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability in Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack and Microsoft Word.
