Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Works versions prior to the fixed version

Description The issue is related to a stack-based buffer overflow in the wkcvqd01.dll file, which is used in various Microsoft products. This overflow can be triggered by a .wps file with crafted field lengths, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
