It indicates a possible exploit of Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in Microsoft Words and Work suites.
Microsoft Word is most popular application for creating and sharing documents . Multiple vulnerabilities are reported in it that may allow an attacker to cause denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code on the affected system. This is due to application failure to properly sanitize word document while parsing it. It is exploitable by an offset that triggers an out-of-bounds memory access and a certain value that causes a large memory copy as triggered by an integer conversion error, and other values. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the affected system with rights of the victim, once the victim opens the document.
