S-350: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office Filters
Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exists in the way that Microsoft Office filter handles images. An attacker could exploit the vulneraiblity by constructing a specially crafted Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file that could allow remote code execution if a user opened the file with a Microsoft Office application. The risk is MEDIUM. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. However, significant user interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability.
