On the heels of his recent post, I would like to offer to our readers notice of an exceptionally nasty Word vulnerability. MS07-060 security bulletin states that this exploit allows “remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Word file with a malformed string.”
This is a privately reported vulnerability, but it is being actively exploited. The following versions are affected:
Microsoft Office 2000
Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac
Microsoft Office XP
Microsoft Word 2000
Microsoft Word 2002
The solution is to apply the following patches:
Microsoft Office 2000 SP3:
