    A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Outlook software when it fails to properly handle objects in memory.

To exploit the vulnerability, a user must open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Outlook software. Note that the Preview Pane is not an attack vector for this vulnerability.
  • CVE-2019-1204: Microsoft Outlook Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
    An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Microsoft Outlook initiates processing of incoming messages without sufficient validation of the formatting of the messages. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could attempt to force Outlook to load a local or remote message store (over SMB).
