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

A remote user can create specially crafted HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a buffer overflow or memory allocation error in the Office Web Components ActiveX control and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.

Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2004 SP3 and 2006 SP1, Microsoft BizTalk Server 2002, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 SP1, and Microsoft Office Small Business Accounting 2006 are also affected.

Peter Vreugdenhil of Zero Day Initiative and Sean Larsson of VeriSign iDefense Labs each reported some of these vulnerabilities.

Impact:  A remote user can create HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will execute arbitrary code on the target user's system.
Solution:  The vendor has issued the following fixes:
