What is CVE-2008-4024?

Microsoft Office Word versions 2000 SP3, 2002 SP3, and Office 2004 for Mac are susceptible to a memory corruption vulnerability. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by delivering a specially crafted Word document. The exploit takes advantage of an improper initialization step in the File Information Block (FIB), specifically targeting the lcbPlcfBkfSdt field. When processed, it can trigger an arbitrary free condition, enabling unauthorized code execution and potentially compromising system security.
