Description The issue is related to a remote code execution problem in Microsoft Excel, where the software fails to properly handle objects in memory. This can be exploited by an attacker using a specially crafted file, potentially allowing them to run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the user has administrative rights, the attacker could take control of the system, install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights. The impact may be less severe for users with fewer user rights.
