Buffer overflow in Microsoft Office 2000 SP3, XP SP3, and other versions and packages, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a routing slip that is longer than specified by the provided length field, as exploited by malware such as TROJ_MDROPPER.BH and Trojan.PPDropper.E in attacks against PowerPoint.

Buffer overflow in the converter for Microsoft WordPerfect 5.x on Office 2000, Office XP, Office 2003, and Works Suites 2001 through 2004 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious document or website.

Microsoft Excel 97, 2000, and 2002 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a spreadsheet with a malicious XLM (Excel 4) macro that bypasses the macro security model.

Microsoft Word 97, 98(J), 2000, and 2002, and Microsoft Works Suites 2001 through 2004, do not properly check the length of the "Macro names" data value, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack.

Microsoft Word 2002, 2000, 97, and 98(J) does not properly check certain properties of a document, which allows attackers to bypass the macro security model and automatically execute arbitrary macros via a malicious document.
