Microsoft Office under attack by crackers
The malware community seems to have turned its attention to Microsoft Office and unpatched vulnerabilities are being reported in increasing numbers. Here are some references:
- Word 2000 Flaw Being Used in Attacks
- Word 2000 flaw hit with zero-day attack
- Third Microsoft Excel Attack Posted
- Attackers Exploit PowerPoint Flaw
Note added later: It looks like next week’s “Patch Tuesday” will try to fix these problems. According to an article at ZDNet
Microsoft plans to release a “critical” security update for Office next week, one of three bulletins it will distribute as part of its monthly patch cycle.
