Microsoft’s patch package includes critical Word fix

Microsoft releases a rare critical patch for Microsoft Word. All the user needs to do is preview a specially crafted RTF email in Outlook for malware to be run with same privileges as logged in user. All versions of Windows, from XP SP3 to Windows 8 and Windows RT are affected by MS12-078. The Oracle Outside In file conversion libraries flaws from earlier in the year are still showing up in applications that use them. Microsoft had addressed other Outside In holes with Exchange in August.”]
