Microsoft confirms yet another zero-day flaw in Word is being exploited. Microsoft says the flaw affects Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003 and Word Viewer 2003. MessageLabs says the attack originated from a Yahoo e-mail account and has an attachment called “Rapid Response issues.doc” The vulnerability would then cause MS Word to drop an executable file, executing it and exiting. The “clean” Word document then drops another Word document with a similar name and another executable file. The dropped executable file gets executed and remains resident in memory.”]
