Microsoft today released Office for Mac 2011 SP1, the first major update to the company’s productivity suite. This 246 MB download addresses a number of issues in the various programs used by Microsoft Office 2001, and also includes several security fixes. One vulnerability affects Microsoft Excel, and another affects PowerPoint. Both are rated “Important” by Microsoft.
Microsoft has also updated Office 2008 and Office 2004; while they mention no security fixes for these updates, the two pages that specify the vulnerabilities mention Office 2008 and 2004 as being vulnerable, so it is likely that security updates are included in these updaters as well.
Users can update Microsoft Office using the suite’s Auto-Update tool, or by downloading the updaters from the pages linked above.
