OFFICE: Buffer Overrun in WordPerfect Converter Could Allow Code Execution (MS03-036 | KB827103)
Sort of like the previous problem, someone could make a WordPerfect document that could allow code to be run when you try to open it in an Office program. This one affects the whole Office suite, because all Office programs can use the converter. There is no way for an attack to happen automatically via e-mail; as with the problem above, the user has to open the document.
Patches: Office XP (2002) Suite  |  Office 2000 Suite  |  Office 97 & 98 Suite  |  Office Update
