Title: Microsoft Excel Set Font Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet application that is part of the Microsoft Office suite.
Excel is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because it fails to adequately handle user-supplied data. This issue occurs when the application handles an Excel file with specially crafted set-font values.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of a user running the application. A successful exploit will result in the compromise of the application and may aid in further attacks.
