Description

A denial of service vulnerability exists in Microsoft Word software when the software fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could cause a remote denial of service against a system. Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a specially crafted document be sent to a vulnerable user. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft Word handles objects in memory.
