Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.3.8 Update Available for Download

Microsoft has released Office for Mac 2011 14.3.8 update to address critical issues and also helps to improve security. This update fixes for vulnerabilities that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer's memory with malicious code.

Office for Mac 2011 14.3.8 update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Office file with an affected version of Microsoft Excel or other affected Microsoft Office software. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

Full details about changes that are in this update are available in the Microsoft Security Bulletin MS13-085.
