Office XP Bug Opens System to Outsiders | |

The latest flaw discovered by famed bug-hunter Georgi Guninski does nothing to soften the technology's bug laden image.

This exploit is accomplished by accessing the Outlook executable, allowing an intruder to read, modify, or delete messages contained in Outlook XP's folders using a property called "selection." | ||
