(MS14-017) Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Word and Office Web Apps Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2949660)

  Severity: CRITICAL
  CVE Identifier: CVE-2014-1757,CVE-2014-1758,CVE-2014-1761
  Advisory Date: APR 21, 2014

  DESCRIPTION

This security update resolves one publicly disclosed vulnerability and two privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office. The most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a specially crafted file is opened or previewed in an affected version of Microsoft Office software. An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as 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.
