Microsoft updates flawed Excel security patch
20/03/2008 by swordfish.
Microsoft has issued an update for a flaw previously addressed in Excel, admitting that the patch caused errors. I can’t say I noticed any errors in calculations, but the patch was applied today to our computers.
The company had already patched the ‘critical’ flaw in last week’s Patch Tuesday release, but the update apparently caused Excel to encounter a new performance problem.
The flaw lies in the way Excel files are processed and could allow an attacker to remotely assume control of a user’s system, including the ability to execute malicious code.
The update was rated ‘critical’ for Microsoft Office 2000, and ‘important’ for Office XP, 2003, 2007 and the Mac versions of Office 2004 and 2008.
