Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Microsoft PowerPoint. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
[Editor's note: This vulnerability was previously reported and previously corrected by MS06-012. This duplicate entry will be deleted shortly.]
A remote user can create a specially crafted PowerPoint file that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger an unknown vulnerability and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
TrendMicro reported this vulnerability in their August 17, 2006 report on a trojan horse PowerPoint file that "attempts to exploit an unknown system vulnerability." On August 22, 2006, TrendMicro updated their report to indicate that the trojan exploits a previously described vulnerability, which has since been patched by Microsoft MS06-012. Patched systems (patched with MS06-012) are not affected.
