Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2002 SP3 and 2003 SP3, and PowerPoint in Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted structure in a Notes container in a PowerPoint file that causes PowerPoint to read more data than was allocated when creating a C++ object, leading to an overwrite of a function pointer, aka "Heap Corruption Vulnerability."

Un desbordamiento de búfer en la región heap de la memoria en Office PowerPoint 2002 SP3 y 2003 SP3, y PowerPoint en Office 2004 para Mac, de Microsoft, permite a los atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de una estructura diseñada en un contenedor de Notes en un archivo de PowerPoint que causa que PowerPoint lea más datos de los que se asignaron al crear un objeto C++, conllevando a una sobrescritura de un puntero de función, también se conoce como "Heap Corruption Vulnerability".

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Office's PowerPoint. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must open up a malicious file.
The vulnerability exists within the parsing of certain structures inside a Notes container. During population of a C++ object when reading the Notes container, Powerpoint incorrectly reads more data than was allocated for overwriting a function pointer for the object which is later used in a call from mso.dll. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution under the credentials of the currently logged in user.
