Detail

Revision Note: V1.1 (September 10, 2008): Corrected the installation switches and deployment information for OneNote 2007, and added to the list of non-affected software. Also, updated FAQ entries explaining why this update is offered to systems with non-affected software.Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Office. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user clicks a specially crafted OneNote URL. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
