The window is growing tighter and tighter for the emergence of exploit code. Brian Krebs has a piece that discusses this at length on his blog.
Over the past several months news of exploits targeting previously undocumented flaws in Windows and other Microsoft applications have surfaced within hours of each Patch Tuesday. Today, less than 48 hours after Microsoft released a record number of security updates, comes the release of exploit code for yet another Office flaw, this one apparently targeted at PowerPoint files in Office 2003 (no, I’m not going to link to the site hosting the exploit code).
To further outline this point there is a new power point exploit that came out this week.
