Descriptions

Integer overflow in the PICT image converter in the graphics filters in Microsoft Office XP SP3, Office 2003 SP3, and Office Converter Pack allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PICT image in an Office document, aka "PICT Image Converter Integer Overflow Vulnerability."

Desbordamiento de enteros en el convertidor de imágenes PICT en los filtros de gráficos en Microsoft Office XP SP3, Office 2003 SP3 y Office Converter Pack permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una imagen PICT manipulada en un documento de Office, también conocido como "vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de enteros en PICT Image Converter"

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Microsoft Office, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused by an integer truncation error in the PICT import filter (PICTIM32.FLT). This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into importing a specially crafted PICT file. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
