Found vulnerabilities in Office 2007

Researchers have discovered a highly critical security vulnerability in the newly released Office 2007 software, despite Microsoft's efforts to release an office software version. most complete.

Microsoft Office 2007 is not as safe as expected

The consumer version of Office 2007, which was launched just four weeks ago, is programmed to counter the more rigorous 'peek' of malicious code writers. Microsoft has delivered the software to code censors, as part of its software security development cycle.

However, researchers from eEye Digital Security have found a text format flaw in Microsoft Office Publisher 2007. This vulnerability could be exploited by outsiders to run code on computers. victim.

Ross Brown, eEye's chief executive, said: ' We were surprised to discover such a fast error (4 weeks after the launch of Office 2007) and was the fault of one of the properties. Microsoft ' nail '.

He said the attacker could create a malicious Publisher file. Once the 'victim' opens the file, he will find his system infected and easily attacked remotely.

Brown added that eEye's researchers used a standard code censorship process to uncover vulnerabilities. He noted: Microsoft did not perform well the code review process, or they may not have enough people to do things like this.

Meanwhile, Microsoft said it is investigating eEye's report on possible vulnerabilities in Publisher 2007 and will provide users with additional instructions if necessary.

The leaders of the "software giant" recently said they always expect the security system challenges to continue to emerge, as more and more devices are connected to the Internet.

eEye said that there has been no public report of this error during Publisher 2007's circulation, probably because Office 2007 was only released in a short time and the vulnerability was not "attractive". For hackers, those who only like to focus on software are distributed on a larger scale.
