Zero Day Initiative Advisory 09-083

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 09-083 – This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Office Excel. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must open a malicious spreadsheet. The specific flaw exists in the handling of Shared Feature Header (0x867) tags in an Excel BIFF file format. When processing the cbHdrData size element of the FEATHEADER it is possible to directly control the distance of a calculated pointer. This condition can be leveraged successfully to execute arbitrary code under the context of the currently logged in user.
