Microsoft Excel 2002 SP3, Office 2008 for Mac, and Open XML File Format Converter for Mac do not properly validate record information during parsing of Excel spreadsheets, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted spreadsheet, aka "Excel Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

The remote Mac OS X host has a version of Microsoft Office that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities that could lead to arbitrary code execution.

If a remote attacker can trick a user into opening a malicious PowerPoint or Excel file using the affected install, these vulnerabilities could be leveraged to execute arbitrary code subject to the user's privileges.

The remote Windows host is running a version of Microsoft Excel or Excel Viewer that is affected by several vulnerabilities.

If an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into opening a specially crafted Excel file, he or she could leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code subject to the user's privileges.
