It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in
    Microsoft Office 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.  (CVE-2018-0794, CVE-2018-0795)

  - An Office RTF remote code execution vulnerability exists
    in Microsoft Office software when the Office software
    fails to properly handle RTF files. 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.  (CVE-2018-0797)

    CVE-2018-0802, CVE-2018-0804, CVE-2018-0805,
    CVE-2018-0806, CVE-2018-0807, CVE-2018-0812)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
    that Microsoft Outlook parses specially crafted email
    messages. An attacker who successfully exploited the
    vulnerability could take control of an affected system.
    An attacker could then install programs; view, change,
    or delete data; or create new accounts with full user
    rights. Exploitation of this vulnerability requires that
    a user open a specially crafted file with an affected
    version of Microsoft Outlook.  (CVE-2018-0793)");
