MS Office and IE Exploits

Posted by pudge on from the um-damn dept.

buzban writes "Microsoft has issued this security bulletin regarding potential buffer/code exploits. It seems to have a potential effect on a lot of things, including Office v.X, Office:2001, IE for Mac OS and for Mac OS X, AppleScript, et al... I couldn't get the update from Apple just yet, but that might be my own screwup. ;)" Only the patch for MSIE on Mac OS X is in Software Update through Apple. All others must be downloaded from Microsoft. Update: 04/17 21:02 GMT by P : pumpkinhead writes in that ZDNet has a story with more details.

    You OSS advocates still think that Office and IE sucks. Why is it that the overwhelming majority of Businesses and web surfers use Microsoft products? Because they are superior. Open office, Mozilla, and other Open Source (read: Communist) programs are Un-American and inefficient. We all must use capitalist, patriotic software to win the war against terror. What are you, an American Taliban? Get with Microsoft, or you will give comfort and aid to the enemy.

    God bless Microsoft.
    God bless America.
