What's new in Lync for Mac 14.4.3 Build 170308
Mar 15, 2017
- 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.
- The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by:
- Correcting how Office handles objects in memory
- Changing the way certain functions handle objects in memory
- Properly initializing the affected variable
- Helping to ensure that SharePoint Server properly sanitizes web requests
- Correcting how the Lync for Mac 2011 client validates certificates
- Detailed information about the security fixes in this release is available at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms17-014.
