A new vulnerability has been found in Microsoft's Excel spreadsheet program, just a few days after the company fixed problems with several of its applications in its monthly patch distribution.

One customer reported an attack using the vulnerability, which comes from an e-mail with a malicious Excel document attached, wrote Mike Reavey, Microsoft Security Program Manager, on the company's security blog.

Reavey noted that the e-mail application should prompt users to take care if they attempt to open the attachment. He cautioned against opening unsolicited documents, whoever they come from.

Excel trouble

If it is a Macro, you should already have Macro Security set to high, not Medium or Low. If using Visual Basic, that is a problem.
