An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Office renders Rich Text Format (RTF) email messages containing OLE objects when a message is opened or previewed, aka "Microsoft Office Information Disclosure Vulnerability." This affects Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office. This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2018-1007.

The Microsoft Word Products are missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability when Office renders Rich Text Format (RTF) email messages containing OLE objects when a message is opened or previewed. This vulnerability could potentially result in the disclosure of sensitive information to a malicious site.

The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Office processes OLE objects.

The Microsoft Office Compatibility Products are missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Office renders Rich Text Format (RTF) email messages     containing OLE objects when a message is opened or     previewed. This vulnerability could potentially result     in the disclosure of sensitive information to a     malicious site.  (CVE-2018-0950)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Excel software 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.  (CVE-2018-1027, CVE-2018-1029)

The Microsoft Office Products are missing security updates.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Office improperly discloses the contents of     its memory. An attacker who exploited the vulnerability     could use the information to compromise the users     computer or data.  (CVE-2018-1007)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Office renders Rich Text Format (RTF) email messages     containing OLE objects when a message is opened or     previewed.

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the     Office graphics component improperly handles specially     crafted embedded fonts. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability 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.  (CVE-2018-1028)
