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::Container::Conditional(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	      Excel::Template::Container::Conditional(3pm)

NAME

       Excel::Template::Container::Conditional - Excel::Template::Container::Conditional

PURPOSE

       To provide conditional execution of children nodes

NODE NAME

       IF

INHERITANCE

       CONTAINER

ATTRIBUTES

       o   NAME

	   This is the name of the parameter to test. It is resolved like any other parameter name. (q.v. VAR for more info.)

       o   VALUE

	   If VALUE is set, then a comparison operation is done. The value of NAME is compared to VALUE using the value of OP.

       o   OP

	   If VALUE is set, then this is checked. If it isn't present, then '==' (numeric equality) is assumed. OP must be one of Perl the numeric
	   comparison operators or the string comparison operators. All 6 of each kind is supported.

	   Note: If you want to use < or <=, you must instead use &lt; or &lt;=. This is to make sure it will parse with XML::Parser. You should
	   not need to use &gt; or &gt;= instead of > and >=, respectively.

       o   IS

	   If VALUE is not set, then IS is checked. IS is allowed to be either "TRUE" or "FALSE". The boolean value of NAME is checked against IS.

CHILDREN

       None

EFFECTS

       None

DEPENDENCIES

       None

USAGE

	 <if name="__ODD__" is="false">
	   ... Children here
	 </if>

       In the above example, the children will be executed if the value of __ODD__ (which is set by the LOOP node) is false. So, for all even
       iterations.
