MS06-028: Vulnerability in Microsoft PowerPoint Could Allow Remote Code Execution (916768) (Mac OS X)

high Nessus Plugin ID 21724

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Mac OS X host is affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running a version of Microsoft PowerPoint that may allow arbitrary code to be run.

To succeed, the attacker would have to send a rogue file to a user of the remote computer and have it open it with PowerPoint. A vulnerability in the font parsing handler would then result in code execution.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for PowerPoint X and 2004 for Mac OS X.
