Description

 A remote overflow exists in Microsoft WordPerfect Converter. WordPerfect converter is installed by default in many Microsoft Office products and is invoked in Internet Explorer when needed to convert a Corel WordPerfect file. The WordPerfect Converter fails to do correct bounds checking on modified data offset and data size parameters resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary code on the victim's computer resulting in a loss of integrity.
