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.

I know it sounds troll like, but when will MS contemplate sending out Linux LiveCD's on patch Tuesday, AOL style, to every household as a way to fix zero-day attacks? It would fix zero-day attacks on all MS products all at once....

Well, its just a thought.... and would certainly be more interesting news than yet another MS product zero-day attack.
