Descriptions
Microsoft Office 2000 SP3 and XP SP3; Office Converter Pack; and Works 8 do not properly parse the length of a BMP file, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP file, aka the "Malformed BMP Filter Vulnerability."
Microsoft Office 2000 SP3 y XP SP3; Office Converter Pack; y Works 8 no parsea apropiadamente la longitud de un fichero BMP, lo cual permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de ficheros BMP manipulador, también conocido como "Vulnerabilidad de Filtros BMP Malformados"
Remote exploitation of a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the "BMPIMP32.FLT" filter module, as distributed with Microsoft Office, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability specifically exists in the handling of Windows Bitmap (BMP) image files with malformed headers. By specifying a very large number of colors in the header, it is possible to cause controllable heap corruption, which can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code. iDefense confirmed that the "BMPIMP32.FLT" module installed with Microsoft Office XP SP3, including all patches as of May 24, 2006, is vulnerable. Other versions may also be vulnerable.
