Descriptions
Microsoft Office Word 2000 SP3, 2002 SP3, 2003 SP3, and 2007 Gold and SP1; Outlook 2007 Gold and SP1; Word Viewer 2003 Gold and SP3; Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats Gold and SP1; Office 2004 and 2008 for Mac; and Open XML File Format Converter for Mac allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted control words related to multiple Drawing Object tags in (1) an RTF file or (2) a rich text e-mail message, which triggers incorrect memory allocation and a heap-based buffer overflow, aka "Word RTF Object Parsing Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-4030.
Microsoft Office Word 2000 SP3, 2002 SP3, 2003 SP3 y 2007 Gold y SP1; Outlook 2007 Gold y SP1; Word Viewer 2003 Gold y SP3; Paquete de compatibilidad de Office para formatos de archivo de Word, Excel y PowerPoint 2007 Gold y SP1; Office 2004 y 2008 para Mac; y Open XML File Format Converter para Mac permite a los atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de palabras de control creadas relacionadas con múltiples etiquetas de Objeto de Dibujo en (1) un archivo RTF o (2) un mensaje de correo electrónico de texto enriquecido, que activa la asignación de memoria incorrecta y un desbordamiento de búfer en la región heap de la memoria, también se conoce como "Word RTF Object Parsing Vulnerability," una vulnerabilidad diferente a la CVE-2008-4030.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of various Microsoft products including Word and Outlook. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page, open a malicious e-mail, or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of RTF documents containing multiple drawing object tags. First, code within wwlib.dll allocates a buffer for the tag object. Later, a result from a call into mso.dll is copied into the same buffer but with a larger size than was allocated by the callee. Successful exploitation can lead to remote compromise of a system under the credentials of the currently logged in user.
