    descriptionThe remote Windows host has a version of Microsoft Office, Excel, Excel Viewer, SharePoint Server, Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack, or Microsoft Office Web Apps installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - 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 execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2015-2555, CVE-2015-2557, CVE-2015-2558) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the SharePoint InfoPath Forms Services due to improper parsing of document type definitions (DTD) in XML files. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted XML file, to browse the contents of arbitrary files on a SharePoint server. (CVE-2015-2556) - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in Office Web Apps Server due to improper sanitization of crafted requests before returning it to the user. A remote attacker can exploit this to run arbitrary script code in the user

    descriptionThe remote Mac OS X host has a version of Microsoft Office installed that is affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities 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 in Microsoft Office, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
