Descriptions
Microsoft Word 2007 SP2 and SP3 does not properly handle memory during the parsing of Word documents, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted document, aka "Word PAPX Section Corruption Vulnerability."
Microsoft Word 2007 SP2 y SP3, no maneja la memoria adecuadamente durante la validación de documentos Word, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de documentos manipulados, también conocido como "Word PAPX Section Corruption Vulnerability."
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Office Word. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within how the application parses a PAPX FKP sections. When parsing a PAPX FKP section, the application will store a calculation. However, when repairing a damaged document, the application will explicitly trust this calculation in a loop that is used to index into an array of objects. This will allow for an out-of-bounds access of an object which can lead to code execution under the context of the application.
