Microsoft confirms Word attacks
Microsoft has confirmed reports of a vulnerability in Word that allows an attacker to exploit a system via the Microsoft Jet Database Engine, which shares data with Access, Visual Basic and third party applications.
Microsoft in its advisory said the potential for attack is "very limited." Reports of the Word flaw were highlighted by Panda and Symantec in the last two weeks. On March 3, Panda researcher Ismael Briones stumbled on the new exploit. On Thursday, Symantec also noted the Jet vulnerability.
