Description

 A remote overflow exists in Microsoft Office 2000, Office XP (2002), and Office 2003. The Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook applications fail to parse the routing slip metadata resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted document, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution when a user closes a malicious document resulting in a loss of integrity.
