Technical details
A heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office Access allows remote code execution when processing malformed input, exploitable over a network without authentication. The vulnerability exists in the database file parsing logic and requires no user interaction beyond opening a crafted file. Successful exploitation grants an attacker arbitrary code execution in the context of the Access process.
