DTOO322 - Publisher - Fatally corrupt files must be blocked from opening.

Information

Enabling this setting allows user to open fatally corrupt Publisher 2010 files. As a result, malicious code or users could become active on user computers or the network. For example, a malicious user may purposely corrupt a Publisher file. The corrupted file could force the application to fail or execute malicious code, giving the malicious user control of Publisher 2010.

Solution

Set the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Publisher 2010 -> Security 'Prompt to allow fatally corrupt files to open instead of blocking them' to 'Disabled'.
