DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Office,
which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) Office applications load certain libraries in an insecure
manner,
which can be exploited to load arbitrary libraries by tricking
a user
into e.g. opening a Word document located on a remote WebDAV or
SMB
share.
2) An error when handling dereferencing data structures during
parsing of graphic objects in Office files can be exploited via
e.g.
a specially crafted Excel file.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution
of
arbitrary code.
SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
