A patch has been issued by Microsoft for its PowerPoint software. However, the patch is only for Windows users.

The flaw in Powerpoint lets an attacker plant a Trojan. The Trojan sends identification of the machine and its location. It also performs a search on the hard drive and downloads additional malware or update.

All versions of Powerpoint from version 2000 are affected. Mac users who have versions 2004 and/or 2008 will have to wait for a different patch.

The vulnerability is rated as critical by Microsoft.
