ms16-070

MS16-070 is a critical security update for Microsoft Office that addresses vulnerabilities allowing remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Office file. An attacker who successfully exploits these vulnerabilities can run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. Users with fewer system rights are less impacted than those with administrative privileges. This update was published on June 14, 2016, as part of Microsoft's regular security bulletin release cycle. For Windows users and IT administrators, applying MS16-070 is essential to protect against potential exploits targeting Office applications.
