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'.

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

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Office software when the software fails to     properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain     information to further compromise the users system.
    (CVE-2019-1402)

  - 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-2019-1448)

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in the     way that Office Click-to-Run (C2R) components handle a     specially crafted file, which could lead to a standard     user, any AppContainer sandbox, and Office LPAC     Protected View to escalate privileges to SYSTEM.
    (CVE-2019-1449)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Excel 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-2019-1446)

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

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Microsoft Excel improperly discloses the contents of     its memory. An attacker who exploited the vulnerability could use the information to compromise the user’s     computer or data. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker could craft a special document file and then     convince the user to open it. An attacker must know the memory address location where the object was     created. (CVE-2019-1446)

  - 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 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. (CVE-2019-1448)

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office software by not enforcing macro     settings on an Excel document. The security feature bypass by itself does not allow arbitrary code     execution. To successfully exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would have to embed a control in an     Excel worksheet that specifies a macro should be run. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would have     to convince a user to open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Office software.
