The TIFF image converter in the graphics filters in Microsoft Office XP SP3, Office Converter Pack, and Works 9 does not properly convert data, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted TIFF image in an Office document, aka "TIFF Image Converter 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.
