Severity Rating: Critical
Revision Note: V1.1 (August 11, 2016): Bulletin revised to correct the updates replaced for Microsoft Word Viewer packages 3115480 and 3115479. This is an informational change only. Customers who have already successfully updated their systems do not need to take any action.
Summary: This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Microsoft Office file. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. Customers whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
