Microsoft Excel Multiple Vulnerabilites( 12 March 2008 )

1. Excel Data Validation Record Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Excel processes data validation records when loading Excel files into memory. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a malformed file which could be hosted on a specially crafted or compromised Web site, or included as an e-mail attachment.

2. Excel File Import Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Excel handles data when importing files into Excel. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a malformed .slk file which could be hosted on a specially crafted or compromised Web site, or included as an e-mail attachment, and which could then be imported into Excel.

3. Excel Style Record Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Excel handles Style record data when opening Excel files. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a malformed file which could be hosted on a specially crafted or compromised Web site, or included as an e-mail attachment.

4. Excel Formula Parsing Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Excel handles malformed formulas. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a malformed file which could be hosted on a specially crafted or compromised Web site, or included as an e-mail attachment.

5. Excel Rich Text Validation Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Excel handles rich text values when loading application data into memory. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a malformed file which could be hosted on a specially crafted or compromised Web site, or included as an e-mail attachment.

6. Excel Conditional Formatting Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Excel handles conditional formatting values. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a malformed file which could be hosted on a specially crafted or compromised Web site, or included as an e-mail attachment.

7. Macro Validation Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Excel handles macros when opening specially crafted Excel files. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a malformed file which could be hosted on a specially crafted or compromised Web site, or included as an e-mail attachment.
