Summary

This security update resolves a spoofing vulnerability that exists if Microsoft SharePoint Server does not correctly sanitize a specially crafted web request to an affected SharePoint server. This update also resolves a remote code execution vulnerability that exists in Microsoft Word software if it does not correctly handle objects in memory.

To learn more about the vulnerabilities, see Microsoft Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures CVE-2020-0760 and Microsoft Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures CVE-2020-0980.

Known issues

Some types of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) references might be affected by this update. For more information, see FAQ for VBA solutions affected by April 2020 Office security updates.
