high Nessus Plugin ID 53859
Language:
Synopsis
Arbitrary code can be executed on the remote host through Microsoft PowerPoint.Description
The remote Windows host has a version of Microsoft PowerPoint that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities that could lead to arbitrary code execution :- A memory corruption vulnerability exists due to the application's failure to properly handle memory during function calls while parsing a specially crafted PowerPoint file. (CVE-2011-1269)
- A buffer overflow can be triggered when the application encounters a memory handling error while parsing a specially crafted PowerPoint file. (CVE-2011-1270)
If a remote attacker can trick a user into opening a malicious PowerPoint file using the affected install, either of these vulnerabilities could be leveraged to execute arbitrary code subject to the user's privileges.
Solution
Microsoft has released a set of patches for PowerPoint 2002, 2003, and 2007 as well as Office Compatibility Pack.See Also
