The new bug comes just days after the monthly Patch Tuesday updates, one of which covered a previous hole
in PowerPoint. It is believed to affect only the Office 2003 version of PowerPoint, and may
result in remote code execution.
Microsoft released news of the vulnerability on its
security
blog. Alerts have also been issued by
US-CERT and by
Secunia, which has rated the problem as 'highly critical'.
