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

1) An unspecified calculation error when handling version-related information can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially crafted Excel file.

2) An error in the validation of the number of active worksheets can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially crafted Excel file.

3) An error when validating the beginning of file attributes associated with workspace information can be exploited via a specially crafted Excel file.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.

NOTE: Additional unspecified security issues discovered internally by Microsoft have also been reported.
