| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (905413) for 'Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office' has not been applied. Microsoft Excel 2000, 2002, and 2003, and Microsoft Office 2000 SP3 and other packages could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, caused by multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities. By creating a specially-crafted Microsoft Excel or Office document file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system, once the file is open. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by hosting the malicious file on a Web site and then persuading a potential victim to visit the site or sending the file to a potential victim as an email attachment.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
