MS06-062: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office Could Allow Remote Code Execution (922581)   10 Oct 2006 08:00 GMT
Bulletin Severity Rating:Critical - This update resolves several newly discovered, privately reported vulnerabilities. Each vulnerability is documented in this bulletin in its own "Vulnerability Details" section. When using vulnerable versions of Office, if a user were logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of the system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. We recommend that customers apply the update immediately.
