MS Word Security Issue - 2/15/2007 8:52:37   
Yes, another one.

quote:

A vulnerability has been identified in Microsoft Word, which could be exploited by attackers to take complete control of an affected system. This issue is due to a memory corruption error when handling a malformed document, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted Word document.

Products: Office 2000 and XP

Exploits: Discovered as a 0-day. The vulnerability is currently being actively exploited.
