high Nessus Plugin ID 79832

Synopsis

The Microsoft Office component installed on the remote host is affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host has a version of Microsoft Excel or Office Compatibility Pack that is affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities due to Microsoft Excel improperly handling objects in memory. A remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to open a specially crafted Office file, resulting in execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Excel 2007, Excel 2010, Excel 2013, and Office Compatibility Pack.
