Description

A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Microsoft Office fails to properly handle certain files. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would have to convince a user to open a specially crafted URL file that points to an Excel or PowerPoint file that was also downloaded. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Office handles these files.
