Buffer overflow in the Works for Windows document converters in Microsoft Office 2000 SP3, Office XP SP3, Office 2003 SP3, Office 2007 SP1, and Works 8.5 and 9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Works .wps file that triggers memory corruption, aka "File Converter Buffer Overflow Vulnerability."
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.
