Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Office versions 2007 through 2016

Description A remote code execution issue exists due to the improper handling of objects in memory. This could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by using a specially crafted file. If the current user has administrative 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. The impact may be less severe for users with fewer rights on the system.

Recommendations For Microsoft Office versions 2007 through 2016, update to a version that properly handles objects in memory to prevent remote code execution. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
