Summary

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Excel 2000, 2002, and 2003, in Microsoft Office 2000 SP3 and other packages, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a BIFF parsing format file containing malformed BOOLERR records that lead to memory corruption, probably involving invalid pointers.

descriptionThe remote host is running a version of Microsoft Office that could allow arbitrary code to be run. To succeed, the attacker would have to send a rogue file to a user of the remote computer and have him open it. Then a bug in the font parsing handler would result in code execution.
