f3ff123d9ef2eba8c062e175d82383b57a5e07649ff93381eb910c33c5dbb9cdZero Day Initiative Advisory 10-017 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must open a malicious presentation. The specific flaw exists in the handling of TextBytesAtom records contained in a PPT file. Due to the lack of bounds checking on the size argument an unchecked memcpy() copies user data from the file to the stack, overflowing key exception structures. Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to remote compromise of the affected system under the context of the currently logged in user.
