Vulnerabilidad no especificada en Microsoft Excel 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004 para Mac, v.X para Mac, Excel Viewer 2003, y Microsoft Works Suite 2004 hasta la 2006 permite a atacantes con la complicidad del usuario ejecutar código de su elección mediante un registro DATETIME artesanal en un fichero XLS, una vulnerabilidad diferente que CVE-2006-3867 y CVE-2006-3875.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Office. Exploitation requires that the attacker coerce the target user 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 DATETIME records, user-supplied data may be insecurely referenced thereby leading to the eventual execution of arbitrary code.
