Title: Microsoft Word Bulleted List Handling Remote Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Microsoft Word is prone to a remote memory-corruption vulnerability when it handles specially crafted Word files containing bulleted lists.
An attacker could exploit this issue by enticing a victim to open and interact with malicious Word files. Users may have to click on the 'Bullets' button to trigger the issue.
Successfully exploiting this issue will corrupt memory and crash the application. Given the nature of this issue, attackers may also be able to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user.
