Descriptions
Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Excel 2000, 2002, and 2003, in Microsoft Office 2000 SP3 and other packages, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a BIFF parsing format file containing malformed BOOLERR records that lead to memory corruption, probably involving invalid pointers.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Office. Exploitation requires that the attacker coerce the target into opening a malicious .XLS file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of the BIFF file format used by Microsoft Excel. During the processing of malformed BOOLERR records, user-supplied data may be insecurely referenced thereby leading to the eventual execution of arbitrary code.
