Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2005-0564 is a Microsoft Word document parsing flaw. An affected user opening a crafted .doc file with unusually long font information could allow attacker-supplied code to run. Business risk depends on whether Word 2000, Word 2002, or Works Suites 2000-2004 still exist in the environment. Exposure is likely limited to legacy endpoints or document-processing systems that still use the affected Microsoft Word or Works Suite versions and open untrusted .doc files. Treat as high priority only if these legacy Microsoft products remain in use. If none are present, document non-exposure. If present, prioritize remediation because the stated impact is arbitrary code execution from a document file. Mitigation focus: Identify any Word 2000, Word 2002, or Works Suites 2000-2004 installations.; Review and apply Microsoft guidance in MS05-035 for affected systems.; Restrict untrusted .doc handling on affected hosts until remediated..
