Description: A vulnerability was reported in Microsoft Office. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.

Office application, will trigger a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the
privileges of the target user.
A remote user can also create a specially crafted Office file containing a specially crafted property
that, when processed by the target user's Office application, will trigger a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target
system.
