| Subject: | [Snort-sigs] 1:12070 for Word documents? |

Hello all, I downloaded a Word document from OWA and saw many alerts from Snort for sid 1:12070. The signature's message is "EXPLOIT Microsoft Excel malformed version field" and all of the links (nvd, cve, icat, bugtraq) show only Excel as being vulnerable. The Word document does use tables, but does not appear to use any embedded Excel spreadsheet objects, etc. Could this be a false positive or even an additional vulnerability for particular Word documents? Kind Regards, Lee ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
