Microsoft Office Excel contains a remote code execution vulnerability that can be exploited when a specially crafted Excel file is opened. This malicious file could be delivered as an email attachment or hosted on a malicious website. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability by creating a specially crafted Excel file, which, when opened, allowing an attacker to execute remote code on the affected system.

Vulnerability in (1) Microsoft Excel 2002 and earlier and (2) Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 and earlier allows attackers to bypass macro restrictions and execute arbitrary commands by modifying the data stream in the document.

The Windows Media Active Playlist in Microsoft Windows Media Player 7.1 stores information in a well known location on the local file system, allowing attackers to execute HTML scripts in the Local Computer zone, aka "Media Playback Script Invocation".

The Macro Security Model in Microsoft Excel 2000 and 2002 for Windows allows remote attackers to execute code in the Local Computer zone by embedding HTML scripts within an Excel workbook that contains an XSL stylesheet, aka "Excel XSL Stylesheet Script Execution".

Unknown vulnerability in Microsoft Excel 2000, 2002, 2001 for Mac, and v.X for Mac allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious file containing certain parameters that are not properly validated.

Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Excel 2000 SP3, 2002 SP3, 2003 SP2, and 2003 Viewer allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .XLS BIFF file with a malformed Named Graph record, which results in memory corruption.
