Id Description
2801 Microsoft Word and Excel Execution of Arbitrary Code

Several versions of Microsft Word, Excel, and Works Suite contain a flaw that may allow a malicious user to bypass Macro security. The issue is triggered when a user is tricked in to opening a document by a malicious website because Internet Explorer automatically launches the helper application, which is installed by Microsoft Office. It is possible that the flaw may allow Excel to run Macros at the same security level as the current user, and in Word there is a buffer overflow condition that will allow arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability.
