Security Updates for Outlook (July 2017)

high Nessus Plugin ID 102035

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The Microsoft Office or Outlook application installed on the remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office due to improper handling of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open and interact with a specially crafted document file, to bypass security measures and execute arbitrary commands.
(CVE-2017-8571)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted document file, to disclose the contents of memory.
(CVE-2017-8572)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Outlook due to improper parsing of email messages. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, with a specially crafted email message with a malicious attachment, to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-8663)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Outlook 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016.
