Please be careful with all email messages containing Microsoft Access attachments. This new exploit capitalizes on an unpatched MS Jet Engine vulnerability that creates a compromise to system security until the virus is removed

The Trojan may arrive as a Microsoft Access file that exploits the Microsoft Jet Database Engine Malformed Database File Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (described in Bugtraq ID 12960).
