CVE-2013-5057: Microsoft Office

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 9.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

hxds.dll in Microsoft Office 2007 SP3 and 2010 SP1 and SP2 does not implement the ASLR protection mechanism, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted COM component on a web site that is visited with Internet Explorer, as exploited in the wild in December 2013, aka "HXDS ASLR Vulnerability."
