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 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures CVE-2018-8161.
Note To apply this security update, you must have the release version of Word 2016 installed on the computer.
Be aware that the update in the Microsoft Download Center applies to the Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2016. It doesn't apply to the Office 2016 Click-to-Run editions, such as Microsoft Office 365 Home (see Determining your Office version).
Improvements and fixes
This security update contains improvements and fixes for the following nonsecurity issues:
-
When you close an unsaved Information Rights Management (IRM) Office Open XML (OOXML) document, Word claims to be able to "keep unsaved changes," but it actually produces a corrupted .ASD file.
-
Assume that you open a document that is based on an untrusted template (.dotm) in Word 2016. Then, you edit it and create a new document. When you close the first document without saving, Word 2016 freezes.
-
An email message that contains large inline pictures is not displayed correctly in the Outlook client on Windows.
-
When you coauthor a Word document together with another user, the document's normal style can be restricted if you have another restricted style in the document.
-
In Word 2016, you may experience IME composition stopping unexpectedly.
