Microsoft on Tuesday posted a security advisory warning of a vulnerability in several versions of Microsoft Office Excel that affects both Windows and Mac OS users.
The affected versions include Microsoft Office Excel 2003 Service Pack 2, Microsoft Office Excel Viewer 2003, Microsoft Office Excel 2002, Microsoft Office Excel 2000, and Microsoft Excel 2004 for Mac.
Microsoft said that Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Microsoft Excel 2008 for Mac, and Microsoft Office Excel 2003 Service Pack 3 do not appear to be vulnerable.
"At this time, Microsoft is aware of specific targeted attacks that attempt to use this vulnerability," said Tim Rains, security response communications lead for Microsoft, in an e-mail. "Microsoft is aggressively investigating the public reports and customer impact."
Because the flaw is believed not to be widely known, Microsoft considers the risk to be limited. |
Just thought I'd let ya know, in case you hadn't read about it.
