SUMMARY
Excel XP provides an interface to such new technologies as XML and XSLT.
Unfortunately the Excel implementation flawed allowing an attacker to
cause a user opening an .XLS file to cause him to execute arbitrary code.
DETAILS
It contains both XML and a stylesheet in one file.
Note:
Excel does not give any warning to the user - just asks whether to use the
style sheet or not. The default option is not to display it with the
stylesheet.
