Security flaw in Microsoft Office for Mac | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||
|
Microsoft acknowledged on Tuesday that its popular Office applications for the Macintosh have a critical security flaw that leaves users' systems open to attack by worms and online vandals. The software slip-up happens because the Microsoft applications incorrectly handle the input to a certain HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) feature. By formatting a link in a particular manner, an attacker can cause a program to crash a Macintosh or run arbitrary commands. The link could appear on a Web page or in an HTML-enabled e-mail. | ||

| #1 what are you talking about? Last I checked no version of Windows runs on a Mac. Did you read the story or even just the part posted here? |

It can't be a Microsoft flaw... Mac's are immune to bugs and such... so it's clearly the work of Alien beings.
I still get a kick out of the time back in '99 some Mac user told me that the Mac was completely immune to any y2k issues. |

#8 - The Mac never represents dates to the user?
Last I checked users don't know how to parse the number of seconds since 1900. Anyway, the point being that while not representing the date as a string in storage is part of it, there were many apps that had minor issues because of the conversion to text. |
