Am I affected?
Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat sometimes backport a fix without changing the upstream version number: such a version reads « to verify », never « affected ».With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.
Description

A specially crafted PPT file can cause a stack corruption resulting in arbitrary code execution. An attacker can send/provide malicious PPT file to trigger this vulnerability.
