Title: Retired: Microsoft PowerPoint Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Microsoft PowerPoint is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability.
This issue can allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable computer by supplying a malicious PowerPoint document to a user. This issue is being actively exploited in the wild as Trojan.PPDropper.E.
This issue is currently known to affect only Office 2000 (Chinese version only) on Windows XP (Chinese edition).
This issue is a duplicate of that discussed in BID 17000 (Microsoft Office Routing Slip Processing Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability) and is therefore being retired.
Affected Products:
- Microsoft Office 2000 Chinese Version 0.0.0
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 Chinese Edition 0.0.0
