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.
