Microsoft Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) Automation Heap Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microsoft Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) Automation is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer.

An attacker could exploit this issue by enticing a victim to open a malicious web document.

Successfully exploiting this issue would allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user.
