Microsoft made one available safety report where it informs that it is investigating a vulnerability present in Microsoft Office Word 2002 – Service Pack 3.
This security breach can cause an overflow error in memory and power a system crash. The attack can happen if the most careless user opens a file modified by the hacker. After that the hacker can get control of the machine and run code remotely...
Microsoft reveals after completing investigations it may be necessary to launch a security update that can solve this problem, obviously depending on customer needs and the severity of the failure.
The company also informs in the newsletter that users interested in viewing Word documents must "follow" Microsoft Office Word 2003 Viewer or Microsoft Office Word 2003 Viewer Service Pack 3.
