  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Excel
    software when the software fails to properly handle objects in
    memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability
    could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If
    the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an
    attacker could take control of the affected system. An attacker
    could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or
    create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts
    are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be
    less impacted than users who operate with administrative user
    rights. (CVE-2018-0841)");
