VectorAV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft PowerPoint 2010
Description The issue allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to execute arbitrary code and conduct DLL hijacking attacks. This is achieved via a Trojan horse pptimpconv.dll located in the same folder as certain file types, including .odp, .pot, .potm, .potx, .ppa, .pps, .ppsm, .ppsx, .ppt, .pptm, .pptx, .pwz, .sldm, or .sldx.
