Microsoft Office Works File Converter (CVE-2012-0177) Heap Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microsoft Office is prone to a remote heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the software fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data.

An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user into opening a specially crafted '.wps' file.

Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user. Failed exploit attempts may result in a denial-of-service condition.
