Microsoft Warns of Word attack Print E-mail
Microsoft warned on Friday that some customers have reported detecting attacks using Microsoft Word and a previously unknown vulnerability in Microsoft's Jet database engine.

The attack uses an e-mail message with two attachments -- a Word file and a Microsoft Jet database file -- although Microsoft is investigating whether other programs could also be used, the company said in a security advisory published on Friday.
