NASL family Windows : Microsoft Bulletins NASL id SMB_NT_MS18_MAR_WORD.NASL description The Microsoft Word Products are missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Microsoft Office software reads out of bound memory due to an uninitialized variable, which could disclose the contents of memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could view out of bound memory. Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Office software. The security update addresses the vulnerability by properly initializing the affected variable. (CVE-2018-0919) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office software when the Office 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.

An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. (CVE-2018-0922) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Microsoft SharePoint Server does not properly verify tenant permissions. An authenticated attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request to an affected SharePoint server. The attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could elevate permissions such that they gain full rights to the affected tenant. These attacks could allow the attacker to read content that the attacker is not authorized to read, change permissions, and edit or delete content. The security update addresses the vulnerability by helping to ensure that SharePoint Server properly checks tenant permissions. (CVE-2018-0947) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Microsoft SharePoint Server does not properly sanitize a specially crafted web request to an affected SharePoint server. An authenticated attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request to an affected SharePoint server. The attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could then perform cross-site scripting attacks on affected systems and run script in the security context of the current user. These attacks could allow the attacker to read content that the attacker is not authorized to read, use the victim last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 108298 published 2018-03-13 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2018-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/108298 title Security Updates for Microsoft SharePoint Server and Microsoft Project Server (March 2018) NASL family Windows : Microsoft Bulletins NASL id SMB_NT_MS18_MAR_OFFICE.NASL description The Microsoft Office Products are missing security updates.

It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities: - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office software by not enforcing macro settings on an Excel document. The security feature bypass by itself does not allow arbitrary code execution. To successfully exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would have to embed a control in an Excel worksheet that specifies a macro should be run. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would have to convince a user to open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Office software. The security update addresses the vulnerability by enforcing macro settings on Excel documents. (CVE-2018-0907) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Microsoft Office software reads out of bound memory due to an uninitialized variable, which could disclose the contents of memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could view out of bound memory.
