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

1) Insufficient validation of data in a VBA Performance Cache can be exploited via a specially crafted file to cause various types of errors including heap-based buffer overflows.

2) An input validation error in the parsing of BIFF file formats can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted file.

3) An integer overflow in the REPT function when handling formulas inside cells can be exploited via a specially crafted file.

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