Microsoft Issues Out-Of-Band Security Update For Office, Paint 3D

[silversurfer]

Microsoft has released an out-of-band security update for Microsoft Office, Office 365 ProPlus and Paint 3D. The applications are affected by multiple Autodesk vulnerabilities that, if exploited, could enable remote code execution.
 
The flaws, all rated “important” in severity, are tied to six CVEs stemming from Autodesk’s library for FBX, a popular file format format that supports 3D models. This library is integrated into certain Microsoft applications.
 
“Remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft products that utilize the FBX library when processing specially crafted 3D content,” according to Microsoft’s Tuesday advisory.

Affected products include Office 365 ProPlus (for 32- and 64-bit systems), which is Microsoft’s subscription that comes with premium apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams; as well as Paint 3D (formerly known as Microsoft Paint), Microsoft’s 3D modeling and printing application. Microsoft Office 2016 (Click-to-Run for 32- and 64-bit editions) and Microsoft Office 2019 (for 32- and 64-bit editions) are also impacted.
