Revision Note: V2.0 (February 16, 2016): Bulletin revised to announce that the 3134241 update is available for Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac, and the 3137721 update is available for Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 3134241 and Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 3137721.
Summary: This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Microsoft Office file. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. Customers whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.Other versions
