TITLE:
Microsoft Office Publisher Pointer Dereference Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35779

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35779/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Office Publisher,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in calculating object
handler data when opening files created in older versions of
Publisher. This can be exploited to corrupt memory and cause an
invalid value to be dereferenced as a pointer via a specially crafted
Publisher file.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
