The following crash was observed in Microsoft Office 2007 with Microsoft Office File Validation Add-In disabled and Application Verifier enabled for testing and reproduction. This bug also reproduced in Office 2010 running on Windows 7 x86. 

The minimized version of the PoC has three deltas at offsets 0x2404, 0x4041, and 0x8057. OffViz identified these as WordBinaryDocuments[1].WordBinaryDocument[0].stPapxFKPs[23].PAPXFKP[1].rgfc[7].rgfc[1], WordBinaryDocuments[1].WordBinaryDocument[0].stPapxFKPs[23].PAPXFKP[9].rgfc[23].rgfc[16], and WordBinaryDocuments[1].WordBinaryDocument[0].stPapxFKPs[23].PAPXFKP[22].rgbx[11].BXPAP[3].bOffset respectively.

In this crash eax is coming from the 3rd argument passed into the function at 0x312ab5e7. It is pointing to valid memory allocated with the following call stack:

0:000> !heap -p -a 0x17dd0f5b
    address 17dd0f5b found in
    _DPH_HEAP_ROOT @ 1151000
    in busy allocation (  DPH_HEAP_BLOCK:         UserAddr         UserSize -         VirtAddr         VirtSize)

The indexes being pushed onto the stack eax +0xB8, +0xB0, +0xB4, and +0xAC push the value beyond the allocated size of a8. With pageheap enabled this causes a fault at the first push. This is an exploitable bug because the function at 0x312ab34a uses these values in memory write operations:

0:000> uf 312ab34a
wwlib!FMain+0x66d93:
312ab34a 55              push    ebp
312ab34b 8bec            mov     ebp,esp
312ab34d 8b4508          mov     eax,dword ptr [ebp+8]
312ab350 8b4d0c          mov     ecx,dword ptr [ebp+0Ch]
312ab353 8b5510          mov     edx,dword ptr [ebp+10h]
=> 312ab356 2908            sub     dword ptr [eax],ecx
=> 312ab358 015008          add     dword ptr [eax+8],edx
312ab35b 8b4d14          mov     ecx,dword ptr [ebp+14h]
312ab35e 8b5518          mov     edx,dword ptr [ebp+18h]
=> 312ab361 294804          sub     dword ptr [eax+4],ecx
=> 312ab364 01500c          add     dword ptr [eax+0Ch],edx
312ab367 5d              pop     ebp
312ab368 c21400          ret     14h

At attacker may control these values by grooming memory so that he or she controls the memory after the a8 sized chunk. This can lead to memory corruption and arbitrary code execution. The root cause of this bug suggestive of a type confusion vulnerability earlier in the call stack but this has not been determined with certainty.
