Microsoft Excel Worksheet Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Microsoft Excel is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability.

Attackers may exploit this issue by enticing victims into opening a maliciously crafted Excel file (.xls).

Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. This may facilitate a compromise of vulnerable computers.

This issue was previously reported as a denial-of-service vulnerability, but has been updated to reflect new information.
