CVE-2007-1512: Stack-based buffer overflow in the AfxOleSetEditMenu function in the MFC component in Microsoft Windows 200...

Stack-based buffer overflow in the AfxOleSetEditMenu function in the MFC component in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2, and Server 2003 Gold and SP1, and Visual Studio .NET 2002 Gold and SP1, and 2003 Gold and SP1 allows user-assisted remote attackers to have an unknown impact (probably crash) via an RTF file with a malformed OLE object, which results in writing two 0x00 characters past the end of szBuffer, aka the "MFC42u.dll Off-by-Two Overflow." NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete patch (MS07-012) for CVE-2007-0025.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes a flaw in Microsoft MFC handling of malformed OLE content inside an RTF file. A user would need to open or process the crafted file. The reported impact is unclear and may only be a crash, but the issue matters where very old Windows or Visual Studio components remain in use. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows 2000, Windows XP SP2, Server 2003, or systems carrying affected Visual Studio MFC runtime components that process RTF files with embedded OLE objects. Treat this as a legacy exposure question, not a confirmed active emergency. Priority should rise if affected systems still handle email attachments, documents, or customer-supplied files. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems running the affected legacy Windows and Visual Studio component versions.; Check Microsoft guidance and later updates before relying on MS07-012 alone.; Retire, isolate, or tightly restrict unsupported affected hosts where updates are unavailable..
