CVE-2006-1306
Microsoft Excel 2000 through 2004 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .xls file with a crafted BIFF record with an attacker-controlled array index that is used for a function pointer, aka "Malformed OBJECT record Vulnerability."
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (9.24%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
