Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Office Excel 2002 SP3 Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac

Description A remote code execution issue exists in the way Microsoft Office Excel handles specially crafted Excel files, potentially allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed HFPicture (0x866) record. This could enable an attacker to take complete control of an affected system, install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights.

Recommendations For Microsoft Office Excel 2002 SP3, update to a version that is not affected by this issue. For Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac, update to a version that is not affected by this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of HFPicture (0x866) records in Excel files until a patch is available.
