Improper authentication in Microsoft Office SharePoint allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.
There are multiple update packages available for some of the affected software. Do I need to install all the updates listed in the Security Updates table for the software? Yes. Customers should apply all updates offered for the software installed on their systems. If multiple updates apply, they can be installed in any order. I am running SharePoint Server 2016. Do the updates for SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016 also apply to the version I am running? Yes. The same KB number applies to both SharePoint Server 2016 and SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016. Customers running either version should install the security update to be protected from this vulnerability. How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability? An authenticated attacker with access to the domain could perform remote code execution on the SharePoint server to elevate themselves to SharePoint admin.
