Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Microsoft Excel, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when validating an index value in the rtWnDesk record and can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially crafted Excel Workspace (XLW) file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Other unspecified security issues discovered internally by Microsoft have also been reported.
