Descriptions

Microsoft Office Excel 2002 SP3, 2007 SP1, and SP2; Office 2004 for mac; Office 2008 for Mac; Open XML File Format Converter for Mac; and Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats SP1 and SP2; allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an Excel file with crafted DBQueryExt records that allow a function call to a "user-controlled pointer," aka "Excel ADO Object Vulnerability."

Office Excel 2002 SP3, 2007 SP1 y SP2; Office 2004 para Mac; Office 2008 para Mac; Open XML File Format Converter para Mac; y Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats SP1 y SP2, de Microsoft; permite a los atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de un archivo de Excel con registros DBQueryExt especialmente diseñados que permiten una llamada de función a un "user-controlled pointer", también se conoce como "Excel ADO Object Vulnerability".

This particular vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Excel. User interaction is required in that a target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists in the parsing of DBQueryExt records in an Excel spreadsheet. Due to the lack of checking when parsing particular fields within the structure, it is possible to get a user-controlled pointer to be called. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution under the credentials of the currently logged in user.
