Description:
Lord Yup has reported a vulnerability in Microsoft Word, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the parsing of fonts. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted Word document.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
