Re: Microsoft warns of new attack on Word

Microsoft Jet DataBase Engine MDB File Parsing Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

To exploit this issue, an attacker must entice a user into opening a malicious file.

*Workarounds

Microsoft has tested the following workarounds. Although these workarounds will not correct the underlying vulnerability, they help block known attack vectors. When a workaround reduces functionality, it is identified in the following section.

Restrict the Microsoft Jet Database Engine from running.

To implement the workaround, enter the following command at a command prompt:

echo y| cacls "%SystemRoot%\system32\msjet40.dll" /E /P everyone:N

*To undo the workaround, enter the following command at a command prompt:

echo y| cacls "%SystemRoot%\system32\msjet40.dll" /E /R everyone

Impact of Workaround: Any application requiring the use of the Microsoft Jet Database Engine to make data access calls will not function.
