descriptionThe remote Windows host has a version of Microsoft Office, Office Compatibility Pack, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Word Viewer, SharePoint Server, or Microsoft Office Web Apps installed that is affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities : - A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to improper handling rich text format files in memory. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file using the affected software, resulting in execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2015-1641) - Multiple use-after-free errors exist due to improper parsing specially crafted Office files. A remote attacker can exploit these errors by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file using the affected software, resulting in execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
