"The Microsoft Office Compatibility Products are missing a
security update. It is, therefore, affected by the following
vulnerability :
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists 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. If
the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an
attacker could take control of the affected system. An attacker
could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or
create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts
are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be
less impacted than users who operate with administrative user
rights. (CVE-2018-8577)");
