Fatally corrupt files must be blocked from opening.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Enabling this setting allows user to open fatally corrupt Publisher 2010 files. As a result, malicious code or users could become active on user computers or the network. For example, a malicious user may purposely corrupt a Publisher file. The corrupted file could force the application to fail or execute malicious code, giving the malicious user control of Publisher 2010.
