This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Office Word. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the processing of name tables in an embedded TTF file. Incorrect processing of a size value can cause Word to copy too much data and corrupt memory. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the process.
