'Name' => "MS14-017 Microsoft Word RTF Object Confusion",
'Description' => %q{
This module creates a malicious RTF file that when opened in
vulnerable versions of Microsoft Word will lead to code execution.
The flaw exists in how a listoverridecount field can be modified
to treat one structure as another.
This bug was originally seen being exploited in the wild starting
in April 2014. This module was created by reversing a public
malware sample.
