Microsoft Office 2007 SP2 and SP3 and 2010 SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) file, aka "CGM File Format 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.
