Severity: HIGH
CVE Identifier: CVE-2011-1270
Advisory Date: MAY 11, 2011
DESCRIPTION
This security update resolves two reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft PowerPoint. The vulnerabilities allow remote code execution if a user opens a maliciously-crafted PowerPoint file. An attacker who successfully exploited either of these vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the logged-on user. The update addresses the vulnerabilities by correcting the way that PowerPoint handles memory when parsing specially crafted PowerPoint files.
