It’s been a while, and Microsoft has released new updates for Office, which include some security fixes. The 333 MB Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.2.6 Update provides a number of bug fixes to the Office software, and “includes fixes for vulnerabilities that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer’s memory with malicious code.” The same flaw is fixed in the Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac 11.6.0 Update, which is 192 MB. It is strongly recommended that all Office users apply these updates.
Microsoft also updated their Open XML File Format Converter for Mac to version 1.1.6 to correct a critical security flaw.
