Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-7291 is a Microsoft Office/Word document-handling flaw. A maliciously crafted document could make affected Office components disclose information from process memory or crash. The sources name older Word, Office, Compatibility Pack, SharePoint Word Automation Services, and Office Web Apps 2010 products. Exposure is most likely where the named legacy Microsoft Office or SharePoint/Office Web Apps components remain installed and process untrusted Word documents. Treat this as a legacy-product remediation issue. Prioritize systems that process externally supplied documents, especially shared services, but do not assume active exploitation from the supplied evidence. Mitigation focus: Apply the Microsoft MS16-148 security update where applicable.; Inventory and upgrade or retire the named legacy Office and SharePoint components.; Limit handling of untrusted Word documents until affected systems are patched..
