Descriptions

Microsoft Office Outlook 2002 SP3, 2003 SP3, and 2007 SP1 and SP2 does not properly verify e-mail attachments with a PR_ATTACH_METHOD property value of ATTACH_BY_REFERENCE, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted message, aka "Microsoft Outlook SMB Attachment Vulnerability."

Microsoft Office Outlook 2002 SP3, 2003 SP3, y 2007 SP1 y SP2 no verifica correctamente adjuntos en correo electrónico con un valor adecuado PR_ATTACH_METHOD de ATTACH_BY_REFERENCE, el cual permite a atacantes remotos ayudados por el usuario ejecutar código arbitrario mediante mensajes manipulados, también conocidos como "Vulnerabilidad Microsoft Outlook SMB en adjuntos".

It has been discovered that certain e-mail messages cause Outlook to create Windows shortcut-like attachments or messages within Outlook. Through specially crafted TNEF streams with certain MAPI attachment properties, it is possible to set a path name to files to be executed.
