Trackback

Earlier today Symantec posted a description for Trojan.PPDropper.G.  The vulnerability mentioned in the description has been assigned CVE-2007-0913.  SANS added it to their missing Microsoft patches table.

However, McAfee Avert Labs’ testing shows this issue was patched today in MS07-015 along with the Office Zero-Day reported by McAfee on February 2 (CVE-2007-0671).  This testing suggests Trojan.PPDropper.G may in fact be a PowerPoint version of the Office zero-day exploit used in Exploit-MSExcel.h.

We will post an update when we have more definitive information.
