Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Office 2007 SP3 Microsoft Office 2010 SP2 Microsoft Office 2013 SP1 Microsoft Office 2013 RT SP1 Microsoft Office 2016 Excel for Mac 2011 PowerPoint for Mac 2011 Word for Mac 2011 Excel 2016 for Mac PowerPoint 2016 for Mac Word 2016 for Mac Word Viewer

Description The issue is caused by a buffer overflow, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Office document. Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft Office software when it fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploits these vulnerabilities could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take control of the affected system, install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights.

Recommendations For Microsoft Office 2007 SP3, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Office 2010 SP2, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Office 2013 SP1, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Office 2013 RT SP1, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Office 2016, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Excel for Mac 2011, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For PowerPoint for Mac 2011, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Word for Mac 2011, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Excel 2016 for Mac, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For PowerPoint 2016 for Mac, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Word 2016 for Mac, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Word Viewer, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of specially crafted Office documents until a patch is available.
