Microsoft Excel 2007 SP3, Excel 2010 SP2, Excel 2013 SP1, Excel 2013 RT SP1, Excel 2016, Excel for Mac 2011, Excel 2016 for Mac, Office Compatibility Pack SP3, and Excel Viewer allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Office document, aka "Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in     Microsoft Office software due to improper handling of     objects in memory. A remote attacker can exploit these     vulnerabilities by convincing a user to open a specially     crafted Office file, resulting in the execution of     arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
    (CVE-2016-3278, CVE-2016-3280, CVE-2016-3281,     CVE-2016-3282, CVE-2016-3283, CVE-2016-3284)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Office software due to improper handling of     XLA files. A remote attacker can exploit this     vulnerability by convincing a user to open a specially     crafted XLA file in Office, resulting in the execution     of arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
    (CVE-2016-3279)

The version of Microsoft Office installed on the remote Mac OS X host is affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to open a specially crafted Office file, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user..
