Technical details
The vulnerability is a use-after-free memory safety flaw in Microsoft Office PowerPoint that can be triggered when processing a malicious PowerPoint file. The defect allows an attacker to access memory that has been freed, enabling arbitrary code execution in the context of the PowerPoint process. The attack vector is network-based and requires user interaction (opening a malicious file), but does not require prior authentication. Successful exploitation grants the attacker the ability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running PowerPoint. A patch from Microsoft is expected to be available through the standard security update process.
