Office 2004 11.3.4 patch out today
The Microsoft Office 2004 11.3.4 updater is available for download, a quick-eyed reader tells us. The 12.5 MB download purports to provide "several enhancements to improve security and stability," including blocking some arbitrary execution security holes, but no more detail than that at the moment. The files updated by the patch are Word, the Junk Mail Filter, and the Component Plugin. Requires Office 11.3.3 and OS X 10.2.8 or higher.Thanks Dan!

Be careful, a coworker wiped out his entire Address Book with this update. His Apple address book, not Entourage.

As described by Microsoft:
"If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights"

How are the Apple Address Book and Entourage related? They're not, could it be a coincidence?

Jason -- if Sync Services is on, the Entourage contacts and Address Book are synchronized. It's possible (though unlikely) that something could reset that relationship... so best to turn off Sync Services in Entourage before making changes.

No problems here. (Although I only use Word and Excel. Grudgingly.)
