CVE-2006-0028 describes an unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Excel 2000, 2002, and 2003, as well as Microsoft Office 2000 SP3, allowing user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability arises from malformed BOOLERR records within BIFF parsing format files, leading to memory corruption, likely due to invalid pointers. With a CVSS score of 5.1, it has a network attack vector and high access complexity, potentially resulting in partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. There is no evidence of active exploitation, no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage.
