Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office Could Allow Remote Code Execution (3048019)

Published: April 14, 2015 | Updated: April 21, 2015

Version: 1.1

Executive 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.

This security update is rated Critical for all supported editions of the following software:

• Microsoft Word 2007, Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft Word 2010
• Microsoft Word Viewer, Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack
• Word Automation Services on Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010
• Microsoft Office Web Apps Server 2010

This security update is rated Important for all supported editions of the following software:

• Microsoft Word 2013
• Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, Microsoft Word for Mac 2011, Outlook for Mac for Office 365
• Word Automation Services on Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013
• Microsoft Office Web Apps Server 2013

For more information, see the Affected Software section.

The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by correcting how Microsoft Office parses specially crafted files, by correcting how Office handles files in memory, and by helping to ensure that SharePoint Server properly sanitizes user input. For more information about the vulnerabilities, see the Vulnerability Information section.

Yes. In addition to the changes that are listed for the vulnerabilities described in this bulletin, this update includes defense-in-depth updates to Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 to help make it more secure.

I have Microsoft Word 2010 installed. Why am I not being offered the 2965236 update?
The 2965236 update only applies to systems running specific configurations of Microsoft Office 2010. Some configurations will not be offered the update.

I am being offered this update for software that is not specifically listed in the Affected Software table. Why am I being offered this update?
When updates address vulnerable code that exists in a component that is shared between multiple Microsoft Office products or shared between multiple versions of the same Microsoft Office product, the update is considered to be applicable to all supported products and versions that contain the vulnerable component.

For example, when an update applies to Microsoft Office 2007 products, only Microsoft Office 2007 may be specifically listed in the Affected Software table. However, the update could apply to Microsoft Word 2007, Microsoft Excel 2007, Microsoft Visio 2007, Microsoft Compatibility Pack, Microsoft Excel Viewer, or any other Microsoft Office 2007 product that is not specifically listed in the Affected Software table.

For example, when an update applies to Microsoft Office 2010 products, only Microsoft Office 2010 may be specifically listed in the Affected Software table. However, the update could apply to Microsoft Word 2010, Microsoft Excel 2010, Microsoft Visio 2010, Microsoft Visio Viewer, or any other Microsoft Office 2010 product that is not specifically listed in the Affected Software table.

For example, when an update applies to Microsoft Office 2013 products, only Microsoft Office 2013 may be specifically listed in the Affected Software table. However, the update could apply to Microsoft Word 2013, Microsoft Excel 2013, Microsoft Visio 2013, or any other Microsoft Office 2013 product that is not specifically listed in the Affected Software table.

Does this update contain any additional security-related changes?
In addition to the changes that are listed for the vulnerabilities described in this bulletin, this update includes defense-in-depth updates to help improve security-related features.

Vulnerability Information

Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2015-1641

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office software when the Office software fails to properly handle rich text format files in memory.

An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could use a specially crafted file to perform actions in the security context of the current user. The file could then, for example, take actions on behalf of the logged-on user with the same permissions as the current user.

Exploitation of this vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Office software. In an email attack scenario an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. In a web-based attack scenario an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) that contains a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit it, typically by getting them to click a link in an instant messenger or email message, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file.

The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Office handles files in memory.

This vulnerability has been publicly disclosed. It has been assigned Common Vulnerability and Exposure number CVE-2015-1641. Microsoft is aware of limited attacks that attempt to exploit this vulnerability.

Mitigating Factors

Microsoft has not identified any mitigating factors for this vulnerability.

Workarounds

Microsoft has not identified any workarounds for this vulnerability.

Multiple Microsoft Office Component Use After Free Vulnerabilities

Remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft Office software that are caused when the Office software improperly handles objects in memory while parsing specially crafted Office files. This could corrupt system memory in such a way as to allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take complete control of the affected system. An attacker 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.

Exploitation of these vulnerabilities requires that a user open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Office software. In an email attack scenario an attacker could exploit the vulnerabilities by sending a specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. In a web-based attack scenario an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) that contains a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerabilities. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit it, typically by getting them to click a link in an instant messenger or email message, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file.
