Summary

Microsoft Office XP SP3, Office 2004 and 2008 for Mac, Office for Mac 2011, and Open XML File Format Converter for Mac allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Office document that triggers memory corruption, aka "MSO Large SPID Read AV Vulnerability."

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

    descriptionThe remote Windows host is running a version of Microsoft Office that is affected by several vulnerabilities : - An integer underflow exists in the way the application parses the PowerPoint file format, which could lead to heap corruption and allow for arbitrary code execution when opening a specially crafted PowerPoint file. (CVE-2010-2573) - A stack-based buffer overflow can be triggered when parsing specially crafted RTF files, leading to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2010-3333) - A memory corruption vulnerability exists in the way the application parses specially crafted Office files containing Office Art Drawing records. (CVE-2010-3334) - A memory corruption vulnerability exists in the way drawing exceptions are handled when opening specially crafted Office files. (CVE-2010-3335) - A memory corruption vulnerability exists in the way the application parses specially crafted Office files. (CVE-2010-3336) - A DLL preloading (aka binary planting) vulnerability exists because the application insecurely looks in its current working directory when resolving DLL dependencies.
