Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-050:
Vulnerability in Microsoft Word and
Microsoft Excel Could Allow Arbitrary
Code to Run (831527)
11/13/2003 12:36 AMA security vulnerability exists in Microsoft Word that could allow
malicious code execution. This vulnerability exists due to to the way
Word checks the length of a data value (Macro names) embedded in a
document. If a specially crafted document were to be opened it could
overflow a data value in Word and allow arbitrary code to be executed.
If successfully exploited, an attacker could then take the same
actions as the user had permissions to carry out, such as adding,
changing or deleting data or files, communicating with a web site or
formatting the hard drive.

02/19/2004 02:55 AMIn an effort to protect its intellectual property, Microsoft is
warning Internet users not to download the Windows source code that
appeared online last week.
Microsoft is sending warnings to users who search for its source code
on peer-to-peer file-swapping services and is mailing legal warnings
to those who have already downloaded the secret programming code, says
Tom Pilla, a Microsoft spokesperson. The company has acknowledged the
code, spreading on the Internet without its authorization, is genuine
if incomplete.

Microsoft to share Office code
Microsoft to share Office code
09/20/2004 10:44 AMReuters reports that Microsoft has
announced plans to open up the code to their Office suite. Microsoft
will share the code with 30 world governments, allowing them to
inspect it for “security problems”. The announcement is part of a
wider "Microsoft's Government Security Program" launched
last year, where 30 governments have been
allowed access to the source code of Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows
Server 2003, Windows CE and now Office 2003.
Microsoft’s main competitor in many markets is free software. More
often than not, it's also open source (i.e. anyone can view the
underlying code that makes the programs work). Microsoft programs are
generally closed source and are only opened up to select people, often
with tight restrictions.
To a certain extent, Microsoft has opened up the code to stay
competitive (or ahead of the game) with regard to Open Source
software. Asides from this fact, the problems with security and
inter-operability with Microsoft programs has prompted the move.
Governments often use and need software from a variety of vendors to
work together to ensure efficiency. Microsoft hopes the move will
restore any faith lost in the past few years; recently, the company
has been beaten to some lucrative and high value contracts by Open
Source alternatives.
