S-227: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Excel (MS08-014)
Remote code vulnerabilities exist in the way Excel: 1) processes data validation records when loading Excel files into memory; 2) handles data when importing files into Excel; 3) Style record data when opening Excel files; 4) handles malformed formulas; 5) handles rich text values when loading application data into memory; 6) handles conditional formatting values; and 7) handles macros when opening specially crafted Excel files. The risk is MEDIUM. An attacker could exploit the vulnerabilities by sending malformed files which could be hosted on a specially crafted or compromised Web site, or included as an e-mail attachment.

Excel::Template::Element::Formula(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		    Excel::Template::Element::Formula(3pm)

NAME

       Excel::Template::Element::Formula - Excel::Template::Element::Formula

PURPOSE

       To write formulas to the worksheet

NODE NAME

       FORMULA

INHERITANCE

       Excel::Template::Element::Cell

ATTRIBUTES

       All attributes a CELL can have, a FORMULA can have, including the ability to be referenced using the 'ref' attribute.

CHILDREN

       None

EFFECTS

       This will consume one column on the current row.

DEPENDENCIES

       None

USAGE

	 <formula text="=(1 + 2)"/>
	 <formula>=SUM(A1:A5)</formula>

	 <formula text="$Param2"/>
	 <formula>=(A1 + <var name="Param">)</formula>

       In the above example, four formulas are written out. The first two have the formula hard-coded. The second two have variables. The third
       and fourth items have another thing that should be noted. If you have a formula where you want a variable in the middle, you have to use
       the latter form. Variables within parameters are the entire parameter's value.
