Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Memory corruption
EUVDB-ID: #VU6060
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-0108
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper handling of objects in memory by Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI). A remote attacker can create a specially crafted Web site containing a malicious Word content, trick the victim into visiting it and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.
Install update from vendor's website.
