Description

Two vulnerabilities have been reported in multiple Microsoft products, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) An error when parsing the PAPX section can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially crafted Word file.

NOTE: This vulnerability affects Microsoft Word 2007 only.

2) A use-after-free error exists when handling listid and can be exploited via a specially crafted RTF file.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of arbitrary code.
