Microsoft PowerPoint Unspecified Code Execution Vulnerability

Microsoft PowerPoint is prone to an unspecified code-execution vulnerability.

A proof-of-concept exploit file designed to trigger this vulnerability has been released. This issue arises when a vulnerable user opens a malicious read-only PowerPoint file and then closes it.

This issue is the third vulnerability discussed in BID 18993 (Microsoft Powerpoint Multiple Unspecified Vulnerabilities). This separate document details further information regarding that issue.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 SP2 French Edition is reported vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
