OFFICE: Flaw in Microsoft Word Could Enable Macros to Run Automatically (MS03-035 | KB827653)
Basically if someone knew what they were doing, they could create a document with a sinister macro that could bypass the built-in Macro Security and run without you knowing. The attacker could not force the document to be opened though, so it's only a problem if you open a document that you don't know where it came from.
