**Impact of Workaround**: Office 2003 and earlier formatted documents that are converted to the 2007 Microsoft Office System Open XML format by MOICE will not retain macro functionality. Additionally, documents with passwords or that are protected with Digital Rights Management cannot be converted.
- **Use Microsoft Office File Block policy to prevent the opening of Office 2003 and earlier documents from unknown or untrusted sources and locations**
The following registry scripts can be used to set the File Block policy.
**Note** Modifying the Registry incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from incorrect modification of the Registry can be solved. Modify the Registry at your own risk.
- For Office 2003
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
\[HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Office\\11.0\\PowerPoint\\Security\\FileOpenBlock\]
"BinaryFiles"=dword:00000001
\[HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Office\\11.0\\Word\\Security\\FileOpenBlock\]
"BinaryFiles"=dword:00000001
\[HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Office\\11.0\\Excel\\Security\\FileOpenBlock\]
"BinaryFiles"=dword:00000001
**Note** In order to use 'FileOpenBlock' with Office 2003, all of the latest Office 2003 security updates or Service Pack 3 must be applied.
**Impact of workaround:** Users who have configured the File Block policy and have not configured a special “exempt directory” as discussed in [Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 922848](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922848) will be unable to open Office 2003 files or earlier versions in Office 2003 or 2007 Microsoft Office System.
**How to undo the workaround:**
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
\[HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Office\\11.0\\PowerPoint\\Security\\FileOpenBlock\]
"BinaryFiles"=dword:00000000
\[HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Office\\11.0\\Word\\Security\\FileOpenBlock\]
"BinaryFiles"=dword:00000000
\[HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Office\\11.0\\Excel\\Security\\FileOpenBlock\]
"BinaryFiles"=dword:00000000

This vulnerability could be exploited when a user opens a specially crafted PowerPoint file.
#### FAQ for the Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2008-0118
**What is the scope of the vulnerability?**
This is a remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
**What causes the vulnerability?**
The vulnerability is caused by an allocation error when Microsoft Office opens a specially crafted Office file. The error may corrupt system memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code.
**What might an attacker use the vulnerability to do?**
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take complete control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
**How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?**
This vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted Office file using an affected version of Microsoft Office.
In an e-mail attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially-crafted Office file to the user and by convincing the user to open the file.
In a Web-based attack scenario, an attacker would have to host a Web site that contains a Office file that is used to attempt to exploit this vulnerability. In addition, compromised Web sites and Web sites that accept or host user-provided content could contain specially crafted content that could exploit this vulnerability. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit a specially crafted Web site. Instead, an attacker would have to convince them to visit the Web site, typically by getting them to click a link that takes them to the attacker's site.
**What systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerability?**
Systems where Microsoft Office is used are primarily at risk. Servers could be at more risk if administrators allow users to log on to servers and to run programs. However, best practices strongly discourage allowing this.
**What does the update do?**
The update removes the vulnerability by modifying the way that Microsoft Office calculates the required memory allocation when opening Office files.
**When this security bulletin was issued, had this vulnerability been publicly disclosed?**
No. Microsoft received information about this vulnerability through responsible disclosure. Microsoft had not received any information to indicate that this vulnerability had been publicly disclosed when this security bulletin was originally issued. This security bulletin addresses the privately disclosed vulnerability as well as additional issues discovered through internal investigations.
**When this security bulletin was issued, had Microsoft received any reports that this vulnerability was being exploited?**
No. Microsoft had not received any information to indicate that this vulnerability had been publicly used to attack customers and had not seen any examples of proof of concept code published when this security bulletin was originally issued.

File Version Verification
Because there are several versions and editions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your system. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps.
- Click Start, and then click Search.
- In the Search Results pane, click All files and folders under Search Companion.
- In the All or part of the file name box, type a file name from the appropriate file information table, and then click Search.
- In the list of files, right-click a file name from the appropriate file information table, and then click Properties.
Note Depending on the version of the operating system or programs installed, some of the files that are listed in the file information table may not be installed.
- On the Version tab, determine the version of the file that is installed on your system by comparing it to the version that is documented in the appropriate file information table.
Note Attributes other than the file version may change during installation. Comparing other file attributes to the information in the file information table is not a supported method of verifying that the update has been applied. Also, in certain cases, files may be renamed during installation. If the file or version information is not present, use one of the other available methods to verify update installation.
