TITLE:
Microsoft Office PowerPoint Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35115

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35115/

DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Office
PowerPoint, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise
a user's system.

1) A boundary error when handling file paths can be exploited to
cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted file.

2) An error in the parsing of LinkedSlideAtom records can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially
crafted file.

3) An array indexing error in the parsing of the "placementId" field
value in OEPlaceholderAtom records can be exploited to corrupt memory
via a specially crafted file.

4) A use-after-free error in the parsing of OEPlaceholderAtom records
can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially crafted file.

5) A boundary error in PowerPoint Viewer 2003 when parsing
TextBytesAtom records can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow via a specially crafted file.

6) A boundary error in PowerPoint Viewer 2003 when parsing
TextCharsAtom records can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow via a specially crafted file.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of
arbitrary code.
