Microsoft Office Excel 2002 SP3 and 2003 SP3, and Office Excel Viewer 2003 SP3, does not properly parse the Excel file format, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a spreadsheet with a malformed record object, aka "Excel SxView Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malicious Excel spreadsheet could make vulnerable legacy Microsoft Excel or Excel Viewer versions run attacker-controlled code. The business risk is highest where old Office installations still open email or downloaded spreadsheets. Modern environments should treat this mainly as a legacy software exposure to confirm and remove. Exposure is limited to systems still running the named legacy Excel or Excel Viewer versions, especially endpoints that process untrusted spreadsheets. The provided source bundle does not identify affected newer Office versions or non-Microsoft products. Treat this as a high-priority legacy cleanup item, not a broad modern Office emergency. If any vulnerable versions remain in production or on user endpoints, patch or remove them promptly because exploitation requires only a malicious spreadsheet reaching a user. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft guidance and updates from MS09-067 where applicable.; Retire or isolate Excel 2002, Excel 2003, and Excel Viewer 2003 installations.; Restrict opening untrusted Excel files on legacy systems..
