Microsoft Office Excel 2002 SP3 and 2003 SP3, Office 2004 and 2008 for Mac, Open XML File Format Converter for Mac, and Office Excel Viewer 2003 SP3 do not properly parse the Excel file format, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted spreadsheet, aka "Excel Cache Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

The remote Mac OS X host is running a version of Microsoft Office that is affected by several vulnerabilities.

If an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into opening a specially crafted Excel or Word file, these issues could be leveraged to execute arbitrary code subject to the user's privileges.

The remote host contains a version of Microsoft Excel, Excel Viewer, 2007 Microsoft Office system, or Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack that is affected by several memory corruption vulnerabilities.  An attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into opening a maliciously crafted Excel file, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code subject to the user's privileges.
