3) An error in the parsing of Shared Feature Header records can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially crafted Excel file.

4) An unspecified error in the processing of Binary File Format (BIFF) records can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted Excel file.

5) An unspecified error in the handling of formulas embedded inside a cell can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially crafted Excel file.

6) An unspecified error when loading Excel formulas can be exploited to corrupt a pointer when a specially crafted Excel file is being opened.
