The latest Office Watch email that I receive contained a link to this article:Another Access memory leak finally patched
According to the article the issue has existed in all versions of Access since 2002. It could potentially be used by hackers to obtain private information though that seems unlikely in most cases.
The patch was released last month but only applies to A2010 and later (the versions currently supported).
So if you have A2002/3/7, the issue has still not been fixed and probably never will be!
The timing of this patch and the versions affected does make me wonder whether this was the security update that led to the infamous query is corrupt bug as a side effect. Purely conjecture on my part, but if so, it may explain why MS didn't immediately withdraw that security update
