The Microsoft Office product installed on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by remote code execution vulnerabilities in Word and Excel as well as an information disclosure in Excel.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
