Description

Three vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Excel, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) A boundary error when handling malformed BIFF records can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a malicious file containing a specially crafted Named Graph record.

2) An error when handling set font values within Excel files can be exploited to corrupt memory via a malicious file containing a specially crafted set font value.

3) An input validation error when handling filter records can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially crafted file.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of arbitrary code.
