Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 FL21WIN.DLL code injection

CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 (Presentation Software). It has been rated as very critical. Affected by this issue is some unknown processing in the library FL21WIN.DLL. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Array index error in FL21WIN.DLL in the PowerPoint Freelance Windows 2.1 Translator in Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 and 2002 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Freelance file with unspecified "layout information" that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

The weakness was disclosed 06/10/2009 by Carsten Eiram with Secunia Research (Website). The advisory is shared for download at xforce.iss.net. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2009-0202. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available. The current price for an exploit might be approx. USD (estimation calculated on 12/30/2024). The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1059.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
