Microsoft has released security advisory 969136 to address reports of a vulnerability in Microsoft Office PowerPoint. By convincing a user to open a specially crafted Office file, a remote attacker may be able to gain access to the affected system with the same rights as the user running PowerPoint.

Network Logix encourages users and administrators to review Microsoft Security Advisory 969136 and implement the suggested workarounds listed in the advisory to help mitigate the risks.

Network Logix will provide additional information as it becomes available.
