p2pnet.net News:- Korean, Chinese, and Japanese Microsoft Excel 2000 users were stymied when they couldn’t open the application after a security hole was supposedly ‘patched’.

“This issue occurs because of the way in which Excel 2000 processes the phonetic information that is embedded in files that are created by using Excel in the Korean, Chinese, or Japanese executable mode,” say Bill and the Boyz blandly.

But not to worry. Another fix has been issued to fix the first fix.

MS07-002 will sort things out, Microsoft promises.

Slashdot it!
