The remote host is running a version of Microsoft Word and/or Microsoft Excel that are subject to a flaw that could allow arbitrary code to be run.An attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code on this host.
To succeed, the attacker would have to send a rogue Word or Excel file to the owner of this computer and have him open it. Then the macros contained in the Word file would bypass the security model of Word, and would be executed.
Solution
Microsoft has released a set of patches for Office 97, 2000 and 2002.See Also
