Published: August 11, 2015 | Updated: October 13, 2015
Version: 3.0
Executive Summary
There is no Office 2015, there is Office 2007/2010/2013/2016 Thank you, Palcouc. I'm not very 'Microsofty', the folder was named Office 15 - I had to buy a new PC. Another folder with the name 'One-click MS Office Run'. When I clicked there it said that on my computer were installed two MS Offices, the newer is Office 365. Microsoft Visual C 2015 Redistributable includes bug fixes to the runtime DLLs and also the latest versions for KB 2999226. To find out what's new in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3, see the Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 Release Notes. For a list of fixed bugs and known issues, see the Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 MSDN Article. If you don’t have the original CD or DVD the Microsoft Office/Windows product keys are encrypted inside the Windows Registry. This means you can retrieve them. This means you can retrieve them. Unfortunately manually searching for lost Windows/Office keys manually in the registry is next to impossible unless you know how to create VBScript. Microsoft Office 2015 Free Windows 8 free download - Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft Office 2008 update, Ashampoo Office 8, and many more programs.
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Microsoft Office file. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. Customers whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
For more information, see the Affected Software and Vulnerability Severity Ratings section.
The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by:
- Correcting how Office handles files in memory
- Improving, in conjunction with the updates for Internet Explorer and Microsoft Windows, how Microsoft Office programs are executed from Internet Explorer
- Correcting how Office validates Office templates prior to use
- Correcting how Office handles integer bounds checking
For more information about the vulnerabilities, see the Vulnerability Information section.

Vulnerability Information
Multiple Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities
Remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft Office software when the Office software fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could use a specially crafted file to perform actions in the security context of the current user. The file could then, for example, take actions on behalf of the logged-on user with the same permissions as the current user. Exploitation of this vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Office software.
In an email attack scenario an attacker could exploit the vulnerabilities by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. In a web-based attack scenario an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) that contains a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerabilities. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file.
The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by correcting how Microsoft Office handles files in memory.
The following tables contain links to the standard entry for each vulnerability in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures list:
| Vulnerability title | CVE number | Publicly disclosed | Exploited |
| Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerability | CVE-2015-1642 | No | Yes |
| Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerability | CVE-2015-2467 | No | No |
| Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerability | CVE-2015-2468 | No | No |
| Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerability | CVE-2015-2469 | No | No |
| Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerability | CVE-2015-2477 | No | No |
Microsoft Office Remote Code Execution Vulnerability – CVE-2015-2466
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office software when the Office software fails to properly validate templates. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted template file with an affected version of Microsoft Office software.
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take complete control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. 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.
In an email attack scenario an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file.
In a web-based attack scenario an attacker could host a website or file share (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) that contains a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit the website or file share. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file.
Alternatively, an attacker could launch a “Man-in-the-middle” attack (intercept the traffic between source and destination) and modify the template contents to include malicious code.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Office validates office templates prior to use.
Microsoft received information about the vulnerability through coordinated vulnerability disclosure. When this security bulletin was issued, Microsoft had not received any information to indicate that this vulnerability had been publicly used to attack customers.

Microsoft Office Integer Underflow Vulnerability – CVE-2015-2470
A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Office decreases an integer value beyond its intended minimum value. Exploitation of this vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted Office file with an affected version of Microsoft Office software.
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take complete control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. 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.
In an email attack scenario an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file.
In a web-based attack scenario an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) that contains a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerability.

-->ISO-IEC 27017 Overview
The ISO/IEC 27017:2015 code of practice is designed for organizations to use as a reference for selecting cloud services information security controls when implementing a cloud computing information security management system based on ISO/IEC 27002:2013. It can also be used by cloud service providers as a guidance document for implementing commonly accepted protection controls.
This international standard provides additional cloud-specific implementation guidance based on ISO/IEC 27002, and provides additional controls to address cloud-specific information security threats and risks referring to clauses 5-18 in ISO/IEC 27002: 2013 for controls, implementation guidance, and other information. Specifically, this standard provides guidance on 37 controls in ISO/IEC 27002, and it also features seven new controls that are not duplicated in ISO/IEC 27002. These new controls address the following important areas:
- Shared roles and responsibilities within a cloud computing environment
- Removal and return of cloud service customer assets upon contract termination
- Protection and separation of a customer's virtual environment from environments of other customers
- Virtual machine hardening requirements to meet business needs
- Procedures for administrative operations of a cloud computing environment
- Enabling customers to monitor relevant activities within a cloud computing environment
- Alignment of security management for virtual and physical networks
Microsoft and ISO/IEC 27017
ISO/IEC 27017 is unique in providing guidance for both cloud service providers and cloud service customers. It also provides cloud service customers with practical information on what they should expect from cloud service providers. Customers can benefit directly from ISO/IEC 27017 by ensuring they understand the shared responsibilities in the cloud.
