An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Microsoft Excel improperly discloses the contents of its memory, aka 'Microsoft Excel Information Disclosure Vulnerability'.

The Microsoft Excel Products are missing a security update.
It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerability :

  - 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-2019-1464)

The Microsoft Office Products are missing security updates.
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 users     computer or data.  (CVE-2019-1464)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in Microsoft     Word software when the software fails to properly handle     objects in memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could cause a remote denial     of service against a system. Exploitation of the     vulnerability requires that a specially crafted document     be sent to a vulnerable user. The security update     addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft     Word handles objects in memory. (CVE-2019-1461)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Access 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-2019-1400, CVE-2019-1463)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft PowerPoint 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-2019-1462)

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:

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft PowerPoint 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 by convining the user to open a     specially crafted file to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands. (CVE-2019-1462)

  - 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-2019-1464)
