The weakness exists due to stack-based buffer overflow when handling malformed PowerPoint files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PowerPoint file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system with privileges of the current user.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.
