Georgi Guninski security advisory #17 - MS Word and MS Access 2000 (with or without Service Release 1a) allow executing arbitrary programs if a Word document is opened. This may be exploited also by visiting a web page with IE or opening/previewing HTML email message with Outlook. In order this to work, the user must be able to access a mdb file, which resides either on an UNC share or a local drive. This allows taking full control over user's computer. Demonstration exploit available here.
