Trojan attacks MS Office

CNET reports 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.

The software maker is investigating the issue and will take appropriate action, the representative said.
