Buffer overflow in the Office Web Components ActiveX Control in Microsoft Office XP SP3, Office 2000 Web Components SP3, Office XP Web Components SP3, BizTalk Server 2002, and Visual Studio .NET 2003 SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted property values, aka "Office Web Components 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.
