Excel SLYK Format Parsing Buffer Overrun Vulnerability PoC
This PoC exploits a buffer overrun vulnerability in Microsoft Excel when parsing SLYK format files. The PoC creates a malicious SLYK file with 550 lines of 'P;PAAAA' followed by a single 'P' character. When opened in Excel, the buffer overrun occurs, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution.
Mitigation:
Microsoft released a patch for this vulnerability in 2011.
