Microsoft Word Memory Structure Vulnerability
It has been reported that Microsoft Word is prone to a vulnerability that may allow an attacker to crash the software. The problem occurs when an attacker modifies the memory structure of a Word document. If a user opens the malformed document, it would cause the software to crash. This could potentially allow for corruption of memory, resulting in a possibility of arbitrary code execution, though this has not been confirmed.
Mitigation:
Users should avoid opening untrusted documents.
