Note that by default opening of such files is blocked in Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 Service Pack 3. (CVE-2010-2572)
- An integer underflow exists in the way the application parses the PowerPoint file format, which could lead to heap corruption and allow for arbitrary code execution when opening a specially crafted PowerPoint file.
