One vulnerability is a Trojan horse that can be spread through various types of
Microsoft Office files and programmer kits. The Trojan horse??™s reported name is
syosetu.doc. If a user logs in as an administrator on a system and the attacker exploits
this vulnerability, the attacker can take complete control over the system working under
the context of an administrator. The attacker can then delete data, install malicious code,
create new accounts, and more. If the user logs in under a less powerful account type, the
attacker is limited to what she can carry out under that user??™s security context.
A vulnerability in PowerPoint allowed attackers to install a key-logging Trojan horse
(which also attempted to disable antivirus programs) onto computers that executed a
specially formed slide deck.
