View products that this article applies to.

Summary

This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office that could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Office file. To learn more about these vulnerabilities, see Microsoft Security Bulletin MS16-015.

Note To apply this security update, you must have the release version of Word 2016 installed on the computer.

For a complete list of affected versions of Microsoft Office software, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article KB3134226.

Improvements and fixes

This security update contains improvements and fixes for the following nonsecurity issues:

An improvement is included to make sure that the calls to the Word API between client and servers are consistent. For example, if you insert a paragraph into a document, the reference ID is consistent between client and servers.
Enables add-in developers to obtain a list of API requirement sets.
An improvement is included that translates some functionality in multiple languages. This improves the accuracy of the meaning and to avoid duplicity.
Includes translations for several terms in multiple languages to improve accuracy of meaning.
When Office add-ins communicates with Word 2016, Word may go to sleep if there's no UI action and it stops responding to add-ins.
Assume that you save a document by using the Save As function in Word 2016. When you open the new document, the path of a linked document in the new document is changed unexpectedly.
Real Time Collaboration in Word 2016 could result in additional unnecessary locks on newly inserted paragraphs.
Incorrect output occurs on paragraphs that contain a lock. This issue occurs when Word 2016 merges a local document copy with changes on a server during Real Time Collaboration. This issue causes potential data duplication.
