Description
A remote code execution issue exists due to how Office handles objects in memory. This allows an attacker to run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the user has administrative rights, the attacker could take control of the system, install programs, view, change or delete data, or create new accounts. The exploitation requires a user to open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Office software.
