Microsoft Word Malformed Document Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microsoft Word is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue presents itself when Microsoft Word attempts to parse a malformed document. This could result in execution of arbitrary code in the context of a user who opens the malicious document.

Internet Explorer is a likely attack vector as Word may be opened to handle the document when the user clicks a link.

This issue was originally described as part of BID 11350.
