Microsoft Excel en Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft Office 2013 y Microsoft Office 2016 permiten una vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código debido a la forma en la que se gestionan los objetos en la memoria. Esto también se conoce como "Microsoft Excel Remote Code Execution Vulnerability".
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Office Excel. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of formulas in XLS files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a type confusion condition. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current process.
