The Microsoft Outlook application installed on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on an affected system.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
