> DESCRIPTION:
> Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Office, which
> can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
> 
> 1) An error within the string parsing can be exploited to cause a
> buffer overflow when a malicious Office document containing a
> malformed string is opened.
> 
> 2) Another error within the string parsing can also be exploited to
> corrupt memory when a malicious Office document containing a
> malformed string is opened.
> 
> 3) An error within the property handling can be exploited to cause a
> buffer overflow when a malicious Office document containing a
> malformed property is opened.
> 
> Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of
> arbitrary code.
> 
> SOLUTION:
> Apply patches.
