Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office Word 2002 SP3 and 2003 SP3, Office 2004 and 2008 for Mac, Open XML File Format Converter for Mac, Office Word Viewer 2003 SP3, and Office Word Viewer allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Word document with a malformed File Information Block (FIB) structure, aka "Microsoft Office Word File Information Memory Corruption 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.
