Office XP Flaws

Georgi Guninski has found two security holes in Microsoft's Office XP.
The first hole, in Outlook XP, could allow active content to be
embedded in e-mail, which could forcibly direct a user to a specific
web page.  The other hole, in Office XP's spreadsheet, could be
used to put certain files in the start-up directory and when used in
conjunction with the first hole, could be exploited to take control
of the affected machine.
