Microsoft Warns of PowerPoint Attack

"narramissic writes to let us know about yet another PowerPoint flaw, this
one affecting PowerPoint 2000, 2002, and 2003, soon after Microsoft issued
a record number of patches to fix numerous Office vulnerabilities (among
others). The new problem came to light in a blog posting by Microsoft
Security Program Manager Alexandra Huft, but the coverage at ITWorld has
more detail. Huft writes, "We've been made aware of proof of concept code
published publicly affecting Microsoft Office 2003 PowerPoint," and goes on
to say that Microsoft is not aware of any attacks that exploit the bug."
