A zero-day flaw in the ubiquitous Microsoft Word software program is
being used in an active exploit by sophisticated hackers in China and
Taiwan, according to warnings from anti-virus researchers.

Here's the clue SANS has: "report test file structure information
write into stack"

It's always possible the "Word" bug is really a PPT or Excel bug.
Wasn't someone selling a bunch of these sorts of bugs recently on
full-disclosure?

Now which AntiVirus company will have the first 3rd-party patch out! :>
