Publisher's Descriptions
The Word for Macintosh Security Update: Macro Vulnerability addresses a vulnerability that could allow malicious code to run in a Rich Text Format (RTF) document without warning. Under normal circumstances, you see a warning in Word 98 or Word 2001 when you open a document attached to a template containing macros. However, it is possible for an RTF document to be linked to a template containing macros in such a way that a macro can run with no warning issued. This could cause damage to data or allow unauthorized retrieval of data from your system when you visit a Web site or open an e-mail message.
This security update prevents macros from opening without a security warning. After you have installed the update, you will be warned before you open an RTF document that contains a template or macro. You will still be able to use templates, templates with macros, or Rich Text Format (RTF) documents with macros.
The vulnerability affects Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition and Microsoft Word 2001 for the Mac
The vulnerability only affects Word. Other Office products are not affected.
The vulnerability does not occur when opening Word documents, only when opening RTF documents that are linked to a template.
