Description : Fortinet Security Research Team (FSRT) has discovered a
Improper Stack Overflow Vulnerability in the Microsoft Excel software.
This vulnerability is due to Microsoft Excel's manipulation of opcode
0x0218, when provided with a large Formula Size, it will cause a stack
overflow. An remote attacker could construct a .xls file and put it on
controlled web site. When the user opens the .xls file with Microsoft
Internet Explorer, the browser will call Microsoft Excel to open the .xls
file automatically, and this will cause Microsoft Excel to crash. If excel
file is specially crafted, it may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code
on the affected system.

Impact : Execution of arbitrary code leading to system
compromise.

Solution : Microsoft has released a update for this vulnerability, which
is available for downloading from Microsoft web site, see reference.

Fortinet Protection: FortiGate series of security systems have been updated
to detect exploits targeting this vulnerability.

Acknowledgment : Dejun Meng of Fortinet Security Research team found
