Descriptions

Microsoft Office 2000, XP, 2003, 2004 for Mac, and v.X for Mac do not properly parse the length of a chart record, which allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Word document with an embedded malformed chart record that triggers an overwrite of pointer values with values from the document, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3434, CVE-2006-3864, and CVE-2006-3868.

Microsoft Office 2000, XP, 2003, 2004 para Mac, y v.X para Mac no analiza adecuadamente la longitud de un registro de un gráfico, lo cual permite a atacantes remotos con la intervención del usuario ejecutar código de su elección mediante un documento Word con un registro de gráfico mal formado que dispara la sobrescritura de los valores de punteros con valores del documento, una vulnerabilidad diferente que CVE-2006-3434, CVE-2006-3864, y CVE-2006-3868.

This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Office. Exploitation requires that the attacker coerce the target user into opening a malicious .XLS file.
The specific flaw exists during the processing of malformed charts embedded within a Word document. Upon closing the document, certain pointers are corrupted with data direclty from the file. A later dereference of these corrupted pointers can result in code execution.
