Microsoft Office AccWizObjects code execution
| compoundfile-releaseafterfree-code-execution (56808) |  High Risk |
Description:
Microsoft Office could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a memory corruption error in the ACCWIZ library when the AccWizObjects ActiveX control (ACCWIZ.DLL) is instantiated by Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web page that contains malicious Office ActiveX controls, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the victim.
