Internet Explorer en Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 SP2 y R2 SP1, Windows 8.1 y Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2012 y R2, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, 1703, y Windows Server 2016 permite que un atacante obtenga información para comprometer aun más el sistema del usuario debido a cómo gestiona Internet Explorer los objetos en la memoria, lo que también se conoce como "Internet Explorer Information Disclosure Vulnerability".

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Office Excel. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of Excel workbook files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
