Microsoft would fix the bug in MS Word 2000
Software giant Microsoft is working on launching the latest version of their MS Office suite. However, they are also now working on fixing a recently discovered bug in the MS Word 2000 version of their word processing application.
They have already confirmed that a bug exist in this version which can be used to hijack a machine. The vulnerability is big enough to allow hackers to install a backdoor Trojan.
They have however also downplayed the criticality of the bug saying, \”in order for this attack to be carried out, a user must first open a malicious Word file attached to an e-mail or otherwise provided to them by an attacker.\”
They are due to release a series of patches for MS Office suite this coming Tuesday. However, it is not confirmed on whether a patch for this bug would be included.
