Microsoft today released a security update for Office 2004, which:

“fixes a vulnerability in Word 2004 that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer’s memory with malicious code.”

Microsoft says that you must have already installed the Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac 11.3.7 Update.

“To verify that you have installed this update, select the Microsoft Component Plugin file in the Microsoft Office 2004/Office folder on your hard disk, and then on the File menu, click Get Info.”

You can download the updater file from the link above, or you can run Microsoft AutoUpdate, which you’ll find in your Applications folder.
