Description: Cesar Cerrudo has reported two vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges or by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. 1) An unspecified error in the way memory is accessed when processing COM structured storage files allows malicious, local users to execute code with escalated privileges. 2) An unchecked buffer in the process that validates OLE data can be exploited to execute arbitrary code via messages containing maliciously crafted OLE objects. The following operating systems and software is affected by one or both of the vulnerabilities: Microsoft Windows 2000 Microsoft Windows XP Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003 (Itanium) Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (Itanium) Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Microsoft Windows 98 Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (ME) Microsoft Office XP Outlook 2002 Word 2002 Excel 2002 PowerPoint 2002 FrontPage 2002 Publisher 2002 Access 2002 Microsoft Office 2003 Outlook 2003 Word 2003 Excel 2003 PowerPoint 2003 FrontPage 2003 Publisher 2003 Access 2003 InfoPath 2003 OneNote 2003 NOTE: All software is vulnerable because it uses OLE from the underlying operating system. Third party application may also be affected. Solution: Apply patches.
