Overview
Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Office which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the targeted system in context of the logged in user.
Description
These vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft Office due to improper accessing of memory objects while parsing WordPerfect (.wpd) files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to open a crafted WordPerfect file.
Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system with privileges of the logged in user.
Workaround
- Restrict access to the affected WordPerfect file converters (wpft632.cnv and wpft532.cnv)
- Do not open WordPerfect document files that are received from untrusted sources or that are received unexpectedly from trusted sources.
