Buffer overflow in msjet40.dll before 4.0.9505.0 in Microsoft Jet Database Engine allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Word file, as exploited in the wild in March 2008. NOTE: as of 20080513, Microsoft has stated that this is the same issue as CVE-2007-6026.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
