descriptionThe remote host is running a version of Microsoft PowerPoint which is subject to a flaw that could allow arbitrary code to be run. An attacker may use this to execute arbitrary code on this host. To succeed, the attacker would have to send a rogue file to a user of the remote computer and have it open it. Then a bug in the font parsing handler would result in code execution.
