Yet another security hole has been discovered in Microsoft Word. Attackers can use specially prepared text documents to take full control of computers, warns the German Federal Agency for Security in Information Technology (BSI).
Such documents can be sent as attachments to e-mail messages. This makes it all the more crucial for users not to open Word files from unknown senders.
No patches or small software updates designed to fix the hole have been released as yet. Microsoft had recently released a set of patches to close other security holes.
