Vulnerability Details

Drawing Object Vulnerability - CVE-2007-1747:

   A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Microsoft

   malformed drawing object. Such a specially crafted file might be
   included as an e-mail attachment or hosted on a malicious Web site. An
   attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially
   crafted Office file containing a malformed drawing object that could
   allow remote code execution.
