Microsoft Excel 2002 for Windows Macro Modification Security Vulnerability Patch

Used Microsoft Excel 2002 for Windows Macro Modification Security Vulnerability Patch for Windows?

Developer’s Description

Prevent hackers from exploiting a security flaw in Excel 2002 macros.

Excel and PowerPoint have a macro security framework that controls the execution of macros and prevents macros from running automatically. Under this framework, any time a user opens a document the document is scanned for the presence of macros. If a document contains macros, the user is notified and asked if he wants to run the macros or the macros are disabled entirely, depending on the security setting. A flaw exists in the way macros are detected that can allow a malicious user to bypass macro checking.

A malicious attacker could attempt to exploit this vulnerability by crafting a specially formed Excel or PowerPoint document with macro code that would run automatically when the user opened it. The attacker could carry out this attack by hosting the malicious file on a web site, a file share, or by sending it through email.

Bill Gates makes me feel so stupid. $4000 VAIO with XP, OEM XP install so OF COURSE I have no CD. Tremendous long download even with DSL and NO INSTALL! Can't find required file. Couldn't it be smart enough to look on the Internet or in the CAB files? But no. Not Bill...
