Discussion

Microsoft Excel Memory Corruption CVE-2012-0141 Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Microsoft Excel is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability due to a memory-corruption error.

Attackers can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to open a specially crafted Excel file.

Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition.
