Buffer overflow in certain Asian language versions of Microsoft Excel might allow user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted STYLE record in a spreadsheet that triggers the overflow when the user attempts to repair the document or selects the "Style" option, as demonstrated by nanika.xls. NOTE: Microsoft has confirmed to CVE via e-mail that this is different than the other Excel vulnerabilities announced before 20060707, including CVE-2006-3059 and CVE-2006-3086.

Microsoft Excel allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary javascript and redirect users to arbitrary sites via an Excel spreadsheet with an embedded Shockwave Flash Player ActiveX Object, which is automatically executed when the user opens the spreadsheet.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Excel 2000 through 2004 allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this is a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3086.

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.

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 an Excel file with a malformed description, which leads to memory corruption.

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 an Excel file with a malformed graphic, which leads to memory corruption.

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 an Excel file with a malformed range, which could lead to memory corruption involving an argument to the msvcrt.memmove function, aka "Brand new Microsoft Excel Vulnerability," as originally placed for sale on eBay as item number 7203336538.

Buffer overflow in the JPEG (JPG) parsing engine in the Microsoft Graphic Device Interface Plus (GDI+) component, GDIPlus.dll, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a JPEG image with a small JPEG COM field length that is normalized to a large integer length before a memory copy operation.

Microsoft Excel does not warn a user when a macro is present in a Symbolic Link (SYLK) format file.

A remote attacker can disable the virus warning mechanism in Microsoft Excel 97.
