CVE_2009_0556
What it means
PowerPoint Document contains a malformed EscherClientTextbox with TextHeaderAtom, repeated-byte TextBytesAtom payload, and OutlineTextRefAtom.
Why it fires
CVE-2009-0556 is a Microsoft PowerPoint code execution vulnerability involving malformed textbox/outline text record handling. The detector recovers the exploit shape directly from the PowerPoint Document stream: an EscherClientTextbox containing TextHeaderAtom, a long repeated-byte TextBytesAtom buffer, and OutlineTextRefAtom in the same textbox. Direct recovery is used because weaponized PPT streams often desynchronize full record walking while PowerPoint still reaches the malformed textbox records.
