  - An error in the usage of a specific field used for incrementing an array

  a statically sized buffer on the stack.

  - An error in parsing Office Art record, when parsing an office art object
  record, if an error occurs, the application will add a stray reference to an
  element which is part of a linked list. When receiving a window message,
  the application will proceed to navigate this linked list. This will
  access a method from the malformed object which can lead to code execution
  under the context of the application.");
