| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS11-022, 2489283) for 'Vulnerabilities in Microsoft PowerPoint Could Allow Remote Code Execution' has not been applied.
This security update resolves three privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft PowerPoint. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted PowerPoint file. An attacker who successfully exploited any of these vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the local user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. The automated Microsoft Fix it solution for PowerPoint 2010, "Disable Edit in Protected View for PowerPoint 2010," available in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 2501584, blocks the attack vectors for exploiting the vulnerabilities described in CVE-2011-0655 and CVE-2011-0656.
The update addresses the vulnerabilities by modifying the way that PowerPoint validates records when opening PowerPoint files.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
