PowerPoint attacks
by Chris Gilmer Oct 18th 2006
Microsoft is always under attack. This time around it's Powerpoint, again. Just a few days after patching bugs, PowerPoint was hit again. A Microsoft Security Program Manager was made aware of a proof of concept code that was affecting Microsoft Office 2003 PowerPoint, as well as PowerPoint 2000, and PowerPoint 2002. This hole allows for hackers to potentially execute code on a user's computer by the user opening a hacked PowerPoint file. A good idea would be to keep checking in with Microsoft, to see if a fix has been integrated by the Microsoft Security Response Alliance.
