CVE-2006-3435: Microsoft Office

High severity, CVSS 9.3. EPSS: 37.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

PowerPoint in Microsoft Office 2000, XP, 2003, 2004 for Mac, and v.X for Mac does not properly parse the slide notes field in a document, which allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted data in this field, which triggers an erroneous object pointer calculation that uses data from within the document. NOTE: this issue is different than other PowerPoint vulnerabilities including CVE-2006-4694.

Affected products

• Microsoft Office: version 2000 only; version 2003 only; version 2004 only; version v.x only; version xp only
