http://secunia.com/advisories/32138/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:

http://secunia.com/advisories/product/23/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Office, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

The "cdo:" URI handler does not properly handle requests containing
"Content-Disposition: attachment" headers and thus renders these
instead of displaying the "File Download" dialog box. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of a site.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
