Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities were reported in Microsoft Office. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
A remote user can create a specially crafted rich text format file that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a memory corruption error and execute arbitrary code on the target system [CVE-2015-1641]. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
A remote user can create a specially crafted Office file that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a use-after-free memory error and execute arbitrary code on the target system [CVE-2015-1650]. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
A remote user can create a specially crafted Office file that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a use-after-free memory error and execute arbitrary code on the target system [CVE-2015-1649, CVE-2015-1651]. The code will run with the privileges of the target user. The Preview Pane is also affected.
Microsoft Outlook for Mac does not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input before displaying the input. A remote user can cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will run in the security context of that site serving the content. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
3S Labs (via HP's Zero Day Initiative), s3tm3m@gmail.com (via with VeriSign iDefense Labs), Jack Tang of Trend Micro, and Ben Hawkes of Google Project Zero reported these vulnerabilities.
