Mac Office X Copy Protection DoS

Microsoft released MS02-002 ("Mac Office X Copy Protection
DoS"). Microsoft Office X for Macs contains a copy protection feature
that causes Office to abort if it detects another version on the
network with the same product ID. It's possible for an attacker
to send a packet in such a way that Office X will believe the copy
protection mechanism has been violated, and thus shut down.
