high Nessus Plugin ID 92839

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The Microsoft Office application installed on the remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- Multiple memory corruption issues exist in Microsoft Office software due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file, to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2016-3313, CVE-2016-3316, CVE-2016-3317, CVE-2016-3318)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Microsoft OneNote due to an unspecified flaw. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted OneNote file, to disclose sensitive memory contents.
(CVE-2016-3315)
