| Where |
From remote
"From remote" describes other vulnerabilities where the attack vector doesn't require access to the system or a local network.
This category covers services that are acceptable to expose to the Internet (e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP). It also covers client applications used on the Internet and certain vulnerabilities where it is reasonable to assume that a security conscious user can be tricked into performing certain actions.
|
| Impact |
System access
This covers vulnerabilities where malicious people are able to gain system access and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user.
|
| Description |
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Office Word, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. 1) A boundary error when parsing invalid length fields in certain records can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted Word document. 2) Another boundary error when parsing certain records can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted Word document. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.
