A new bug has been reported for Windows 2000 and XP operating systems. The bug is connected to file called OLE32.DLL which is a library file that is used for linking and embedding actions such as inserting an Excel file to a Word file.

The bug can be exploited by attackers. They can trick people on opening Word document files and when unsuspecting people open the Word file, their system will crash and they need to reboot.

A Microsoft spokesperson said “Microsoft is aware of a report of a possible vulnerability and is currently investigating the issue.”
