Vulnerability Details
Microsoft Outlook VEVENT Vulnerability - CVE-2007-0033
Outlook does not perform sufficient data validation when processing the
contents of an .iCal meeting request. When Outlook opens a specially
crafted .iCal meeting request and parses a malformed VEVENT request, it
may corrupt system memory in such a way that an attacker could execute
arbitrary code.
Microsoft Outlook Denial of Service Vulnerability CVE-2006-1305
A denial of service vulnerability exists in Outlook in its processing of
e-mail header information. An attacker who successfully exploited the
vulnerability could send a malformed e-mail to a user of Outlook that
would cause the Outlook client to fail under certain circumstances. The
Outlook client would continue to fail so long as the malformed e-mail
message remained on the e-mail server. The e-mail message could be deleted
by an e-mail administrator, or by the user via another e-mail client such
as Outlook Web Access or Outlook Express, after which point the Outlook
client would again function normally.
Microsoft Outlook Advanced Find Vulnerability - CVE-2007-0034
Outlook does not perform sufficient data validation when processing the
contents of .oss file. When Outlook opens a specially crafted .oss and
parses the request, it may corrupt system memory in such a way that an
attacker could execute arbitrary code.
An attacker could try to exploit the vulnerability by creating a
specially crafted .oss file in a specially crafted e-mail and send
it to a user of Outlook who connects to a POP, IMAP or HTTP server
to retrieve their e-mail.
