descriptionThe remote Windows host has a version of Microsoft Office, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, SharePoint Server, or Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - An ASLR bypass vulnerability exists in Microsoft Excel due to memory being released in an unintended manner. A remote attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to open a specially crafted Excel (.xls) file, allowing the attacker to more reliably predict the memory offsets of specific instructions in a given call stack. The attacker can then utilize this information to more easily exploit additional vulnerabilities. (CVE-2015-2375) - Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist due to improper handling of objects in memory. A remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2015-2376, CVE-2015-2377, CVE-2015-2379, CVE-2015-2380, CVE-2015-2415, CVE-2015-2424) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft excel due to improper handling of the loading of dynamic link library (DLL) files.
