# Security digest: July 10, 2012

1 editorial brief.

## Take stock

- Most can relax: VBA CVE-2012-1854: 2012 DLL Loading Bug Joins KEV . Organizations still running Office 2003, 2007 or 2010, or line-of-business and engineering applications that bundle their own old VBE6.dll from the VBA SDK.
- None of it touches your stack? Then there is nothing to do today. That is a result, not a failure to read carefully.

## Editorial briefs

- **Most can relax** [VBA CVE-2012-1854: 2012 DLL Loading Bug Joins KEV](https://erroneo.us/security/briefs/microsoft-vba-cve-2012-1854-dll-loading/index.md): This 2012 bug only affects Office 2003, 2007 and 2010 and old copies of the VBA runtime, all patched in 2012 and long out of support; the real job is to find any legacy Office or third-party VBA host that never got the update, and retire it.

## Known exploited (CISA KEV)

None.

## Critical advisories

None.
