CVSS v3.1 |
| A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Outlook when the software fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability 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. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Outlook software. In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) that contains a specially crafted file designed to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or instant message, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file.
Note that where severity is indicated as Critical in the Affected Products table, the Preview Pane is an attack vector.

| A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Windows Jet Database Engine improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on a victim system.
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing a victim to open a specially crafted file.
The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way the Windows Jet Database Engine handles objects in memory. |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office Excel allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally. |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office Word allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally. |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office PowerPoint allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally. |
| Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm in Office Developer Platform allows an authorized attacker to bypass a security feature locally. |
| Use after free in Microsoft Office Word allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally. |
| Use after free in Microsoft Office allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally. |
| Use after free in Microsoft Office Word allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally. |
| Buffer over-read in Microsoft Office Word allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information locally. |
| Use after free in Microsoft Office Visio allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally. |
| Incorrect conversion between numeric types in Microsoft Office Word allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally. |
| Use after free in Microsoft Office PowerPoint allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally. |

| A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the MSHTML engine inproperly validates input, aka "MSHTML Engine Remote Code Execution Vulnerability." This affects Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Word Viewer, Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft Excel Viewer, Internet Explorer 10, Office 365 ProPlus. |
| A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Excel software when the software fails to properly handle objects in memory, aka 'Microsoft Excel Remote Code Execution Vulnerability'. |
| A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Word software when it fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could use a specially crafted file to perform actions in the security context of the current user. For example, the file could then take actions on behalf of the logged-on user with the same permissions as the current user.
To exploit the vulnerability, a user must open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Word software. In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) that contains a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerability. However, an attacker would have no way to force the user to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince the user to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message, and then convince the user to open the specially crafted file.
