(MS13-073) Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Excel Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2858300)

  Severity: HIGH
  CVE Identifier: CVE-2013-1315,CVE-2013-3158,CVE-2013-3159
  Advisory Date: OCT 08, 2013

  DESCRIPTION

This security update resolves three privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office. The most severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Office file with an affected version of Microsoft Excel or other affected Microsoft Office software. An attacker who successfully exploited the most severe vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
