Title: Microsoft Word RTF Polyline/Polygon Integer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Microsoft Word is a wordprocesor.
Word is prone to an integer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. The vulnerability occurs when calculating the space required for the number of points contained in a polyline or polygon.
An attacker could exploit this issue by enticing a victim to open a malicious RTF file..
Successfully exploiting this issue would allow the attacker to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user.
