Microsoft Office Execution Jump Vulnerability( 13 February 2008 )
RISK: Medium Risk
The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Microsoft Office document with a malformed object inserted into the document. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.
