Third Word Vulnerability

Yes, shocking, I know. A third new vulnerability has been found in Word. Again, it doesn't affect Word 2007 (I just tested it myself). Bad news for Microsoft, but good news for Office 2007. There's a rumour that Microsoft might release patches for Word out of cycle. I didn't expect them to as the first couple were targetted attacks, and that doesn't appear to have changed (yet). But this third one has been disclosed with an example document, so it'll be interesting to see if attacks become more widespread.
