Technical details
A use-after-free vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office that can be triggered when processing specially crafted files over the network. The vulnerability stems from improper memory management in the affected component, where memory is accessed after it has been freed. An attacker can exploit this by sending a malicious Office document or file to a target user; no authentication is required. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution in the context of the user running Office, allowing an attacker to read, modify, or delete files, install malware, or establish remote access. Patches are expected from Microsoft through their standard security update channels.
