HTTP: Microsoft Office Excel SxView SXStreamID Memory Corruption (1)

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Microsoft Office Excel. It is due to the way Microsoft Office Excel handles specially crafted Excel files that include a malformed SxView record, allowing for memory corruption. Remote attackers can exploit this by enticing target users to open a malicious Excel file, potentially causing arbitrary code to be injected and executed in the security context of the current logged on user.

Extended Description

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Office Excel 2002 SP3, Office 2004 for Mac, Office 2008 for Mac, and Open XML File Format Converter for Mac allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an Excel file with a malformed SxView (0xB0) record, aka "Excel Record Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0824 and CVE-2010-0821.
