This host is missing a critical security update due to Microsoft Office Suite Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities (3116111). The flaws exist in the way that Microsoft Outlook parses specially crafted email messages. Successful exploitation will allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. Affected versions are Microsoft Office 2007 Service Pack 3 and prior, Microsoft Office 2010 Service Pack 2 and prior, and Microsoft Office 2013 Service Pack 1 and prior
