That means one that allows remote code execution and two that may lead to compromise of data or resources through spoofing attacks, affecting all currently supported versions of Microsoft Windows

 
The package will not include a fix for the Excel vulnerability that is currently being exploited, so I would encourage you to read the Microsoft Security Advisory and take note of the mitigation advice.

 
It’s worth noting that, according to beyondtrust, 92% of critical Microsoft vulnerabilities are mitigated by eliminating Admin rights
