T-003: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Excel
Several remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in the way Microsoft Excel: 1) processes a VBA Performance Cache; 2) an improper memory allocationwhenloading Excel objects; and 3) a formula parsing vulnerability when parsing Microsoft Excel documents containing a specially crafted formula embedded inside a cell. The risk is MEDIUM. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.

Name
       ooconvert - Commandline Document Converter Using OpenOffice.org

SYNOPSIS

       ooconvert [--help] [--force]  input output

DESCRIPTION

       This  tool  converts documents between various formats on the commandline.  It uses OpenOffice.org that guarantees the quality of available
       import and export filters.

       This tool tries to start OpenOffice.org in the server mode on backgroud.  It does not work if the OpenOffice.org  application  has  already
       been running. Also it slows down the conversion a lot. We hope to reduce these limitations in the further versions.

OPTIONS

       input  Input file. The filename suffix must be one of the currently supported file formats, see below.

       output Output  file. The filename suffix defines the output file format. It must be one from the table below. An existing file can be over-
	      written by the --force option.

       --help Print help and exit.

       --force
	      Force an already existing output file to be replaced.

SUPPORTED FILE FORMATS

       The current version of this tool does not read the list of available input and output filters directly from  OpenOffice.org.  The  list	of
       supported file formats is hardcoded and thus limited to:
