The problem resides in the code of MSO.DLL, a shared library used by Office applications, so the vulnerability can be exploited using different attack vectors.
For example, the vulnerability can be exploited using a malformed Excel 2003 file. By changing the size of the Unicode "Sheet Name" string with an incorrect size, it is possible to generate an integer overflow condition. Excel 2003 will crash while opening the malformed file due to an access violation error with an invalid value of :
EAX=0xFFFFFFFC.
MOV EDX,DWORD PTR DS:[EAX-4]
ADD EAX,-4
ADD EDX,4
