DESCRIPTION:
Three vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Excel,

which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's

system.

1) An error when handling malformed BIFF records can be 
exploited to
corrupt memory via a specially crafted file.

2) An error when handling set font values within Excel files

can be
exploited to corrupt memory via a malicious file containing
a
specially crafted set font value.

3) An error when handling filter records can be exploited to

corrupt
memory via a specially crafted file.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows
execution 
of
arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
