The Microsoft Office 2016 application installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft Excel software when the 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. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft Excel handles objects in memory.
