Office 2004 11.5.1 does offer a bit more information for users. While it does offer "several improvements to enhance stability and performance," the update also includes fixes for vulnerabilities that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer's memory with malicious code.

Both updates are available from Microsoft's Mac Web site.
