Descriptions

Microsoft Excel 2007 SP3, PowerPoint 2007 SP3, Word 2007 SP3, Excel 2010 SP2, PowerPoint 2010 SP2, and Word 2010 SP2 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Office document, aka "Microsoft Word Local Zone Remote Code Execution Vulnerability."

Microsoft Excel 2007 SP3, PowerPoint 2007 SP3, Word 2007 SP3, Excel 2010 SP2, PowerPoint 2010 SP2, y Word 2010 SP2 permiten a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un documento de Office manipulado, también conocido como 'vulnerabilidad de la ejejcución de código remoto de la zona local de Microsoft Word.'

Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint 2007 contain a remote code execution vulnerability because it is possible to reference documents such as Works document (.wps) as HTML. It will process HTML and script code in the context of the local machine zone of Internet Explorer which leads to arbitrary code execution. By persuading users into opening eg. specially crafted .WPS, ".doc ", ".RTF " (with a space at the end) it is possible to trigger the vulnerability and run arbitrary code in the context of the logged on Windows user. Google flags this as malware so only use this if you know what you are doing. The password to unarchive this zip is the word "infected".
