| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS08-044, 924090) for 'Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office Filters' has not been applied. Microsoft Office 2000, 2002, and 2003, and Microsoft Project 2002 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, caused by multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities that exist in the Microsoft Office filters. By creating a specially-crafted PICT-format image file, BMP-format image file, WPG-format image file, or EPS file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system, once the file is open. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by hosting the malicious file on a Web site and then persuading a potential victim to visit the site or sending the file to a potential victim as an email attachment.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
