MS10-088: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft PowerPoint Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2293386)

high Nessus Plugin ID 50529

Language:

Synopsis

Arbitrary code can be executed on the remote host through Microsoft PowerPoint.

Description

The remote Windows host is running a version of Microsoft PowerPoint that is affected by several vulnerabilities :

- A buffer overflow exists in the way the application parses the PowerPoint file format, which can be abused to execute arbitrary code if an attacker can trick a user into opening a specially crafted PowerPoint 95 file using the affected application. 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.
(CVE-2010-2573)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for PowerPoint 2002 and 2003 as well as PowerPoint Viewer 2007.
