  Trojan rides in on unpatched Office flaw
Time: 00:13 EST/05:13 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein

A new Trojan horse exploits an unpatched flaw in Microsoft Office and could let an attacker commandeer vulnerable computers, security experts have warned. The malicious code takes advantage of a flaw in Microsoft's Jet Database Engine, a lightweight database used in the company's Office productivity software. The security hole was reported to Microsoft in April, but the company has yet to provide a fix for the problem. "Microsoft is aware that a Trojan recently released into the wild may be exploiting a publicly reported vulnerability in Microsoft Office," a company representative said in a statement sent via e-mail on Friday. The software maker is investigating the issue and will take "appropriate action," the representative said.
