Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Microsoft Office 2000/2001/2003/2004 (Office Suite Software). This affects an unknown code block of the component Diagram Value Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Microsoft Office 2000, XP, 2003, 2004 for Mac, and v.X for Mac do not properly parse the length of a chart record, which allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Word document with an embedded malformed chart record that triggers an overwrite of pointer values with values from the document, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3434, CVE-2006-3864, and CVE-2006-3868.

The bug was discovered 06/14/2006. The weakness was published 10/10/2006 by Arnaud Dovi (TippingPoint) with TippingPoint and the Zero Day Initiative as MS06-062 as confirmed bulletin (Technet). It is possible to read the advisory at microsoft.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2006-3650 since 07/17/2006. Access to the local network is required for this attack. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available. The attack technique deployed by this issue is T1059 according to MITRE ATT&CK.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 2682 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k.
