Heap-based buffer overflow in pubconv.dll (aka the Publisher Converter DLL) in Microsoft Publisher 2002 SP3, 2003 SP3, 2007 SP2, and 2010 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Publisher file that uses an old file format, aka "Heap Overrun in pubconv.dll 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.
