I just wanted to toss everyone a quick heads up… This just came across ISC and I wanted to inform my readers. It seems that Microsoft is investigating a possible 0-day in Word, they have issued an advisory on the subject. A user must actively open a document in order to be exploited.
Affected Software List:
* Microsoft Word 2000
* Microsoft Word 2002
* Microsoft Office Word 2003
* Microsoft Word Viewer 2003
* Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac
* Microsoft Word 2004 v. X for Mac
* Microsoft Works 2004
* Microsoft Works 2005
* Microsoft Works 2006
This is a good time to remind your colleagues and friends… your users or your managers that they shouldn’t open attachments from people they don’t know… and even better advice would be to never open unsolicited attachments.

The vulnerability may be present in both the mac and windows versions of the code but I doubt the 0 day in the field works against both. Are you hearing differant?
