"The hole, which allows an attacker to write a script that can do anything once on a user's computer, gets activated by clicking on a Web page or HTML-enabled e-mail. The script can then add or delete files. "Because its abilities are marked 'safe for scripting,' anything is possible," said the security researcher that found the hole, a hacker known as "Dildog" who works for the security firm @Stake Inc. Microsoft has released a patch to fix the permissions on the hole, but users still need to download the patch and update their Office program." --ZDNet: http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2570727,00.html?chkpt=zdnnstop Microsoft patch: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms00-034.asp Lee Drake, Moderator
