Synopsis

The Microsoft Outlook application installed on the remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The Microsoft Outlook application installed on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A remote code execution vulnerability. (CVE-2024-21378)

 - An elevation of privilege vulnerability. (CVE-2024-21402)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
