Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS00-071) - Microsoft has released a patch that eliminates the "Word Mail Merge" security vulnerability in Microsoft Word 2000 and 97. If an Access database is specified as a data source via DDE in a Word mail merge document, macro code can run without the user's approval when the user opens that document. If a user could be enticed into opening a specially constructed mail merge Word document, which was provided either as an e-mail attachment or as a link hosted on a hostile web site, it is possible to cause arbitrary code to run on the user's machine. Microsoft FAQ on this issue available here.

673e24e8ac9aae412e3928cd2168aaf7e73e91ed2d72c5ed4a3e244ede61f2e4samhain is a distributed host integrity monitoring system. It consists of monitoring agents running on individual hosts, and a central log server collecting reports from these agents via authenticated TCP/IP connections. On single hosts, it is possible to run a standalone monitoring agent. Currently, agents may monitor the integrity of files and directories, and watch for login/logout events. In addition to forwarding reports to the log server, other logging facilities (e-mail, console, tamper-resistant log file, and syslog) are available. samhain has been tested on Linux, AIX 4.1, HP-UX 10.20, Unixware 7.1.0, and Solaris 2.6.
