Microsoft and third-party security sites are warning of a new "extremely critical" Microsoft Word vulnerability. Specially crafted Word documents could corrupt a computer's memory and allow attackers to gain system access. Both Windows and Macintosh computers are affected.
Vulnerable computer users must open a malicious Word document for the attack to work. So far there is no fix other than to exercise in Microsoft's words "extreme caution" when opening documents.
