MS16-070: Security Update for Microsoft Office (3163610)

high Nessus Plugin ID 91611

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office :

- Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file or visit a website that hosts such a file, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the user.
(CVE-2016-0025, CVE-2016-3233)

- A flaw exists due to improper disclosure of memory contents. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file, resulting in the disclosure of potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2016-3234)

- A flaw exists due to improper validation of input before loading OLE library files. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-3235)
