[Esa-l] WARN: Proof-of-Concept code for the Office VBE BO is available

[John D. Hardin]

All:

Proof-of-Concept code for attacking the Microsoft Office VBE Buffer
Overflow vulnerability is apparently publicly available. Expect some
sort of attacks to being soon.

I strongly suggest updating to the 1.139 Sanitizer if you are
currently doing macro scanning. It should catch attempts to exploit
this bug.

If anyone captures an actual attack document I would really like to
see a copy, particularly if the sanitizer did NOT detect it.

What nuts do with guns is terrible, certainly. But what evil or crazy
people do with *anything* is not a valid argument for banning that item.
