Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Word versions 2003 SP3 and earlier Word Viewer (affected versions not specified)

Description A remote code execution issue exists in the way Microsoft Word parses content in Word files. This allows an attacker to potentially take complete control of an affected system, enabling them to install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights. The impact may be less severe for users with limited user rights compared to those operating with administrative rights.
