Microsoft Security Bulletin MS11-089 - Important
Vulnerability in Microsoft Office Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2590602)

Published: Tuesday, December 13, 2011

Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary

This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Office. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Word file. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged-on user. 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 Important for all supported editions of Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft Office 2010, and Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. For more information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section.

The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way that Microsoft Word parses specially crafted Word files.
