Title: Double Trouble: MS Confirms Another Word Zero-Day Flaw!!
Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on December 14, 2006, 03:35:03 PM

Microsoft confirms a second, unrelated zero-day vulnerability in its widely used software program and warns that "extremely targeted" attacks are already under way. Flaws discovered during actual code execution attacks against select targets (http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2071558,00.asp?kc=EWNAVEMNL121306EOAD)

So, who's surprised by this?  [sad3]  But better yet:

"the Word flaws will remain unpatched until at least Jan. 9, 2007."  [santa_angry]

I don't know how I can be expected to bear unpatched Word flaws for almost a month!  Oh the pain, the pain!
