Double Trouble: Microsoft Confirms Another Word Zero-Day Flaw

Oops we did it again... I'm sure there's more to come and Microsoft is going to have it's hands full with this for years to come...

The latest flaw comes just days after the software maker issued a security advisory to warn customers against opening Word documents from untrusted sources. The two vulnerabilities are entirely unrelated. Microsoft uses the "very limited, targeted attack" terminology to make a distinction between attacks that affect a broad number of customers randomly. "Unlike these broad, random attacks, these very limited, targeted attacks are carried out against a very small number of customers [sometimes only one or two even] and are carried out in a very deliberate fashion against a specific organization or organizations," according to Christopher Budd, a program manager in the MSRC (Microsoft Security Response Center).
