Descriptions

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."

Microsoft Office Excel v2002 SP3 y v2003 SP3, Office v2004 y 2008 para Mac, Open XML File Format Converter para Mac, y Office Excel Viewer v2003 SP3 no analiza adecuadamente el formato de archivo Excel, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de una hoja de cálculo manipulada, como "vulnerabilidad de corrupción de memoria caché de Excel"

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Office Excel. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must open a malicious document.
The specific flaw exists when parsing a document containing a malformed PivotCache Stream. The application will utilize the iCache value of an SXVI record to seek into a list of objects. While setting an attribute of that particular object, the application will corrupt memory which can lead to code execution under the context of the currently logged in user.
