CERT-In Vulnerability Note CIVN-2014-0250
Multiple Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Word

Original Issue Date:November 12, 2014

Severity Rating: MEDIUM

Systems Affected

  • Microsoft Word 2007 Service Pack 3
  • Microsoft Word Viewer
  • Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 3

Overview

Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Word which could be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the targeted system in context of the logged in user.

Description

These vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft Word due to improper handling of memory objects while parsing specially crafted Word documents. A remote attacker could leverage these issues to trigger a memory corruption by enticing the user to view a specially crafted word document with an affected version of Microsoft Office software.

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the targeted system in security context of the logged in user. If the user holds administrative privileges, the attacker could gain complete control over the targeted system.

Solution

Apply appropriate patches as mentioned in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS14-069
