What is that should be patched at Microsoft PowerPoint?

In its advanced bulletin, containing just one update term, Microsoft revealed its plans to patch a hole in its PowerPoint presentation program. Though the company didn’t give in detail the information about the following Tuesday's release and it is uncertain what exactly Microsoft is about to fix, reports the Register.

Last month Microsoft was conerned about “limited and targeted attacks that attempt to use this vulnerability". That’s why the necessity of prospective marks to download and open booby-trapped PowerPoint documents appeared. During April's monthly patch batch release, Microsoft issued eight bulletins, but none for the actively-exploited PowerPoint bug.

McAfee researches expected multiple attacks while PowerPoint utilization that could lead to Trojans installation onto the vulnerable system.

The Reg notes: “This month's Patch Tuesday will be among the lightest ever, but will be by no means unprecedented. In January, the company also issued just a single update, though it failed to fix a known vulnerability in the company's SQL Server. The previous month, it released eight bulletins that patched a whopping 28 vulnerabilities.”
