Corrine Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Microsoft released Security Advisory 3010060 which relates to a vulnerability affecting all supported releases of Microsoft Windows, excluding Windows Server 2003. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Microsoft Office file that contains an OLE object. Microsoft is aware of limited, targeted attacks. Direct download links of the Microsoft Fix it Solution are available in my blog post, Microsoft Security Advisory 3010060 with Fixit Solution, or KB 3010060. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebrke Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Corrine, is this a fixit for Windows or the Office application? I tried it twice on a win 7 pro laptop without Office and got a message that the fixit didn't apply to my OS or application.

Corrine Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 If you don't have Microsoft Office installed then it does not apply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlim Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I don't have Office installed on all computers but I do have viewers installed for doc/docx and xls/xlsx. I was wondering if I had a viewer installed for PowerPoint, if the fix was needed? I'm not about to install a PowerPoint viewer. I think I received exactly one power point presentation in all my years of computing and I moved that to a computer that had Office so we could view it. Now to go fix all the computers that have Office installed. (Not all have the Powerpoint module). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrine Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Someone who does not have Office installed but has the viewer for Power Point posted elsewhere that they were told the Fix it did not apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlim Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Thanks Corrine. Good to know. My husband is very good about not opening attachments; I'm the one he calls to see if it should be opened. I don't want to wreck his computers by clicking on something I think might be safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
