View products that this article applies to.

Introduction

This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office that could allow remote code execution if an attacker convinces a user to open or preview a specially crafted Microsoft Word file in an affected version of Office.

Improvements and fixes

This update also contains fixes for the following nonsecurity issues:
  • When text that contains an interpunct is copied from Microsoft Word 2010 and then pasted into Word as a plain text, the interpunct changes to a bullet character unexpectedly.
  • Assume that you have the preview pane enabled in the Open dialog box in an Office 2010 application and you select a file. In this situation, you receive an error message in the preview pane. For example, you receive the following error message in Word 2010:
    This file can't be previewed because of an error in the Microsoft Word previewer.
  • Document properties in the ODF format are not restored as fields if you use the Close button and then save the document.
  • If a multipage document has protected form fields, you cannot browse through the document by using the Previous Page and Next Page buttons in print preview.
