Microsoft Security Bulletin MS09-017 - Critical

Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office PowerPoint Could Allow Remote Code 
Execution (967340)

   Published: May 12, 2009 | Updated: May 12, 2009

   Version: 1.1

General Information

Executive Summary

   This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability and 
   several privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 
   that could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially 
   crafted PowerPoint file. An attacker who successfully exploited any of 
   these vulnerabilities could take complete control of an affected system. 
   An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or 
   create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are 
   configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted 
   than users who operate with administrative user rights.

   This security update is rated Critical for supported editions of 
   Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2000. For supported editions of Microsoft 
   Office PowerPoint 2002, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, Microsoft 
   Office PowerPoint 2007, Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac, and Microsoft 
   Office 2008 for Mac; Open XML File Format Converter for Mac; all 
   supported versions of PowerPoint Viewer, and Microsoft Office 
   Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats; 
   Microsoft Works 8.5; and Microsoft Works 9.0, this security update is 
   rated Important. For more information, see the subsection, Affected and 
   Non-Affected Software, in this section.

   The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by modifying the way 
   that PowerPoint handles conditions that could cause memory corruption 
   when opening specially crafted PowerPoint files. This update also 
   addresses the vulnerabilities by preventing Microsoft Office PowerPoint 
   2000 and Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2002 from opening PowerPoint 4.0 
   native file formats. For more information about the vulnerability, see 
   the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) subsection for the specific 
   vulnerability entry under the next section, Vulnerability Information.

   This security update also addresses the vulnerability first described in 
   Microsoft Security Advisory 969136.

   Recommendation. Microsoft recommends that customers apply the update 
                   immediately.

   Known Issues. Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 967340 documents the 
                 currently known issues that customers may experience when 
                 installing this security update. The article also documents 
                 recommended solutions for these issues. When currently 
                 known issues and recommended solutions pertain only to 
                 specific releases of this software, this article 
                 provides links to further articles.
