This security update resolves eight privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office Word and Microsoft Office Outlook. The said vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) file.

A remote malicious user who successfully exploits these vulnerabilities could take complete control of an affected system. The said malicious user 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.
