DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Office, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) An error in the ImexGrid and FieldList ActiveX controls
(ACCWIZ.dll) when instantiated in a particular order can be exploited
to transfer control into unallocated memory.

2) Use of an uninitialised variable in the FieldList ActiveX control
can be exploited to corrupt memory via specially crafted persisted
storage data.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
