I was wondering what the story was with Microsoft not including any fixes for the very recently acknowleged flaws that have been found in Microsoft Word. It would appear that Microsoft are still testing the updates and had deliberately not included them in the Patch Tuesday releases. However, it looks like someone let test versions of the updates get out into the wild by posting links to them. Microsoft’s Security Respnse team is urging anyone who has installed these updates to remove them ASAP. They are only test versions so MS cannot verify that the updates are safe in a prodution system.
It appears like the updates were not uncluded in Microsoft Update.
