Vulnerabilities > CVE-2008-4027 - Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Microsoft products
Summary
Double free vulnerability in Microsoft Office Word 2000 SP3, 2002 SP3, 2003 SP3, and 2007 Gold and SP1; Outlook 2007 Gold and SP1; Word Viewer 2003 Gold and SP3; Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats Gold and SP1; and Office 2004 for Mac allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) RTF file or (2) rich text e-mail message with multiple consecutive Drawing Object ("\do") tags, which triggers a "memory calculation error" and memory corruption, aka "Word RTF Object Parsing Vulnerability."
