Subject: Immunity: Word 0-day issue is problem in Smart
	Tags

Microsoft will release a fix to code execution vulnerability in MS Word today
( http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/919637.mspx 
CVE-2006-2492 etc.)

Major sources say this vulnerability affecting Word 2003 and Word 2002 is problem in object handling.
But it appears that one vendor (Immunity Inc.) had their non-public PoC in late May, already.

After some hours we know more details about the vulnerability.
Especially I'm interested what was the reason to recommend using Office Viewers as a workaround. Maybe these viewers don't support Smart Tags.
MS has instruction to switch this feature off as well:
