Found code for attack through Microsoft Agent

19th September 2007

It took cyber criminals less than 24 hours to write code for the attack via Microsoft Agent, using the vulnerability, which was reported in the monthly set of patches from Microsoft. The malicious code was placed in the public domain on the Internet.
Microsoft Agent is a component of MS Office, which is responsible for animated characters in the reference file Microsoft Office. The most famous of these heroes is Clippy. In earlier versions of Office it was set by default, in Office XP its default installation has been disabled, and the latest version of the Office package does not include it at all. In other words, this code is most dangerous for users of Office 2000.
Symantec advised users who do not have the possibility to upgrade to next version, to disable processing scripts in the browser.
