MS11-016: Vulnerability in Microsoft Groove Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2494047)

high Nessus Plugin ID 52584

Synopsis

Arbitrary code can be executed on the remote host through Microsoft Office.

Description

The remote Windows host contains a version of Microsoft Groove 2007 that incorrectly restricts the path used for loading external libraries.

If an attacker can trick a user on the affected system into opening a specially crafted Groove-related file located in the same network directory as a specially crafted dynamic link library (DLL) file, he may be able to leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code subject to the user's privileges.

Solution

Microsoft has released a patch for Groove 2007.
