MSO.DLL in Microsoft Office 2000, Office XP (2002), and Office 2003 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service and execute arbitrary code via multiple attack vectors, as originally demonstrated using a crafted document record with a malformed string, as demonstrated by replacing a certain "01 00 00 00" byte sequence with an "FF FF FF FF" byte sequence, possibly causing an invalid array index, in (1) an Excel .xls document, which triggers an access violation in ole32.dll; (2) an Excel .xlw document, which triggers an access violation in excel.exe; (3) a Word document, which triggers an access violation in mso.dll in winword.exe; and (4) a PowerPoint document, which triggers an access violation in powerpnt.txt. NOTE: after the initial disclosure, this issue was demonstrated by triggering an integer overflow using an inconsistent size for a Unicode "Sheet Name" string.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Office 2003 SP1 and SP2, Office XP SP3, Office 2000 SP3, and other products, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via an Office file with a malformed property that triggers memory corruption related to record lengths, aka "Microsoft Office Property Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-1316.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Office 2000, XP, 2003, 2004 for Mac, and v.X for Mac allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string that triggers memory corruption.

PowerPoint in Microsoft Office 2000, XP, 2003, 2004 for Mac, and v.X for Mac does not properly parse the slide notes field in a document, which allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted data in this field, which triggers an erroneous object pointer calculation that uses data from within the document. NOTE: this issue is different than other PowerPoint vulnerabilities including CVE-2006-4694.

Integer overflow in Microsoft Word 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004 for Mac, and v.X for Mac allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string in a Word document, which overflows a 16-bit integer length value, aka "Memmove Code Execution," a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3651 and CVE-2006-4693.

Microsoft Office 2000, XP, 2003, 2004 for Mac, and v.X for Mac do not properly parse the length of a chart record, which allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Word document with an embedded malformed chart record that triggers an overwrite of pointer values with values from the document, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3434, CVE-2006-3864, and CVE-2006-3868.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Word 2000, 2002, and Office 2003 allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted mail merge file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3647 and CVE-2006-4693.

Unspecified vulnerability in mso.dll in Microsoft Office 2000, XP, and 2003, and Microsoft PowerPoint 2000, XP, and 2003, allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed record in a (1) .DOC, (2) .PPT, or (3) .XLS file that triggers memory corruption, related to an "array boundary condition" (possibly an array index overflow), a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3434, CVE-2006-3650, and CVE-2006-3868.

Unspecified vulnerability in PowerPoint in Microsoft Office 2000, Office 2002, Office 2003, Office 2004 for Mac, and Office v.X for Mac allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Data record in a PPT file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3435 and CVE-2006-4694.

Unspecified vulnerability in PowerPoint in Microsoft Office 2000, Office 2002, Office 2003, Office 2004 for Mac, and Office v.X for Mac allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via an unspecified "crafted file," a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3435, CVE-2006-4694, and CVE-2006-3876.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Word 2000, 2002, and Office 2003 allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving a crafted file resulting in a malformed stack, as exploited by malware with names including Trojan.Mdropper.Q, Mofei, and Femo.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac and v.X for Mac allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string in a Word file, a different issue than CVE-2006-3647 and CVE-2006-3651.

Unspecified vulnerability in PowerPoint in Microsoft Office 2000, Office XP and Office 2003 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted record in a PPT file, as exploited by malware such as Exploit:Win32/Controlppt.W, Exploit:Win32/Controlppt.X, and Exploit-PPT.d/Trojan.PPDropper.F. NOTE: it has been reported that the attack vector involves SlideShowWindows.View.GotoNamedShow.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Brazilian Portuguese Grammar Checker in Microsoft Office 2003 and the Multilingual Interface for Office 2003, Project 2003, and Visio 2003 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted text that is not properly parsed.

X for Mac, and Works 2004, 2005, and 2006 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Word document with a malformed string that triggers memory corruption, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-6456.
