Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 allows user-assisted attackers to cause memory corruption via a crafted PowerPoint fi

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 allows user-assisted attackers to cause memory corruption via a crafted PowerPoint file, which triggers the corruption when the file is closed. NOTE: due to the lack of available details as of 20060717, it is unclear how this is related to CVE-2006-3655, CVE-2006-3660, and CVE-2006-3590, although it is possible that they are all different.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
