Here's the link to Microsoft's advisory. The main workaround seems to be.... Don't open or save powerpoint attachments that you receive from untrusted sources, OR that you receive unexpectedly from trusted sources....

ANYTHING unexpected, even from a trusted source, should be verified "out of channel".
