Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Office and Microsoft Works, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) A boundary error in the Works File Converter (wkcvqd01.dll) when processing section length headers can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted Works (.wps) file.

2) An error in the Works File Converter when processing section header index table information can be exploited via a specially crafted Works (.wps) file.

3) An error in the Works File Converter when processing field length information can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially crafted Works (.wps) file.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.
