Microsoft on Wednesday let loose a slew of security bulletins, the worst of the bunch affecting Office users. Of the five flaws, only one was deemed "critical." It allows a buffer overflow in the Visual Basic for Applications Software Development Kit, leaving 29 products vulnerable including the software giant's aligned productivity solution Microsoft Works.

Two other flaws are labeled "important." The first deals with Microsoft's WordPerfect document converter built into all supported versions of FrontPage, Office, Publisher and Works, while the second allows a Macro to run automatically without user intervention.
