The remote Windows host is running a version of Microsoft Excel that is affected by the following vulnerabilities :
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists due to the way the application handles memory when opening Excel files. (CVE-2012-1885)
A memory corruption vulnerability exists due to the way the application handles memory when opening Excel files. (CVE-2012-1886)
A use-after-free vulnerability exists due to the way the application handles memory when opening Excel files. (CVE-2012-1887)
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists due to the way the application handles data structures while parsing Excel files. (CVE-2012-2543)
If an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into opening a specially crafted Excel file, it may be possible to leverage these issues to execute arbitrary code subject to the userβs privileges.
