Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
AnalysisAI
Heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) in multiple Microsoft Office versions enables remote code execution when a victim opens a specially crafted document. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R) confirms network-based delivery without attacker authentication, but exploitation requires high attack complexity and active user interaction - consistent with a maliciously crafted Office file that triggers a memory corruption condition in Office's document parsing subsystem. …
