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

  - 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-2020-1445)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Word software when it fails to properly handle     objects in memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could use a specially     crafted file to perform actions in the security context     of the current user. For example, the file could then     take actions on behalf of the logged-on user with the     same permissions as the current user.  (CVE-2020-1446,     CVE-2020-1447)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Excel software when it fails to properly     handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could use a specially     crafted file to perform actions in the security context     of the current user. For example, the file could then     take actions on behalf of the logged-on user with the     same permissions as the current user.  (CVE-2020-1240)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Office software reads out of bound memory due     to an uninitialized variable, which could disclose the     contents of memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could view out of bound     memory. Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that     a user open a specially crafted file with an affected     version of Microsoft Office software. The security     update addresses the vulnerability by properly     initializing the affected variable. (CVE-2020-1342)
