The Microsoft Sharepoint Server installation on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Excel software reads out of bound memory due     to an uninitialized variable, which could disclose the     contents of memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could view out of bound     memory. Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that     a user open a specially crafted file with an affected     version of Microsoft Excel software. The security update     addresses the vulnerability by properly initializing the     affected variable. (CVE-2018-8627)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when     Microsoft SharePoint Server does not properly sanitize a     specially crafted authentication request to an affected     SharePoint server. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could execute malicious     code on a vulnerable server in the context of the     SharePoint application pool account.  (CVE-2018-8635)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists where     certain modes of the search function in Microsoft     SharePoint Server are vulnerable to cross-site search     attacks (a variant of cross-site request forgery, CSRF).
    When users are simultaneously logged in to Microsoft     SharePoint Server and visit a malicious web page, the     attacker can, through standard browser functionality,     induce the browser to invoke search queries as the     logged in user. While the attacker cant access the     search results or documents as such, the attacker can     determine whether the query did return results or not,     and thus by issuing targeted queries discover facts     about documents that are searchable for the logged-in     user. The security update addresses the vulnerability by     running the search queries in a way that doesnt expose     them to this browser vulnerability. (CVE-2018-8580)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft PowerPoint software when the software fails to     properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability 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 control of the affected     system. An attacker could then install programs; view,     change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full     user rights.  (CVE-2018-8628)

The Microsoft Office Viewer Products are missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Excel software reads out of bound memory due     to an uninitialized variable, which could disclose the     contents of memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could view out of bound     memory. Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that     a user open a specially crafted file with an affected     version of Microsoft Excel software. The security update     addresses the vulnerability by properly initializing the     affected variable. (CVE-2018-8627)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft PowerPoint software when the software fails to     properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability 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 control of the affected     system. An attacker could then install programs; view,     change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full     user rights.  (CVE-2018-8628)

The Microsoft Office Online Server or Microsoft Office Web Apps installation on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerability :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft PowerPoint software when the software fails to     properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability 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 control of the affected     system. An attacker could then install programs; view,     change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full     user rights.  (CVE-2018-8628)

The Microsoft Office application installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerability:

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Excel   software when the software fails to properly handle objects in   memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability   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 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 the vulnerability requires that a user   open a specially crafted file with an affected version of   Microsoft Excel. 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) containing a specially crafted file 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 click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an   email or instant message, and then convince them to open the   specially crafted file. (CVE-2018-8597)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Microsoft   Excel software reads out of bound memory due to an uninitialized   variable, which could disclose the contents of memory. An attacker   who successfully exploited the vulnerability could view out of   bound memory.
