Yesterday, Microsoft issued a PowerPoint security advisory for a vulnerability that could allow “remote code execution” in Microsoft PowerPoint 2000, Microsoft PowerPoint 2002, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, Microsoft PowerPoint 2004 for Mac, and Microsoft PowerPoint v. X for Mac.
In order for this attack to be carried out, a user must first open a malicious PowerPoint file attached to an e-mail or otherwise provided to them by an attacker (or unsuspecting friend or client).

Trust Microsoft to add vulnerabilities to an otherwise very secure platform. Cheers Redmond.
