Confirmed Vulnerabilities in Microsoft PowerPoint

Microsoft has published a new security advisory for PowerPoint. This advisory states that it is possible for a hacker to gain complete control of your system if they were to send you a malformed PowerPoint presentation. There is currently no fix for this at the moment. Microsoft expects to have a solution soon. In the meantime as always do not open any attachments that from someone you do not know and you are not expecting.
