Microsoft Updates Office for Mac

Microsoft on Tuesday released version 11.2.4 of Office 2004 for Mac, which corrects a vulnerability that could allow a hacker to overwrite a system's memory with malicious code. The cumulative update weighs in at over 57MB and is available for download from Microsoft.

11.2.4 additionally fixes problems in PowerPoint 2004 and Entourage 2004. The release is available for Mac OS X 10.2.8 or higher, and comes along with a critical fix for Microsoft Office on Windows. That patch corrects a Word vulnerability in which a malformed document could enable an attacker to take control of a system.
