Description - Microsoft Excel 97 SYLK File Security



Microsoft has recently become aware of a potential Excel XLM macro security vulnerability. When an XLM macro sheet is saved as a text file and the text file is then opened into Excel, users may not receive the usual macro Warning dialog Box. This vulnerability could allow malicious code stored within the XLM macro sheet to perform harmful acts, including deleting files. This update corrects the XLM macro security vulnerability by always displaying the macro warning dialog box when you open an XLM macro sheet, even if the XLM was saved as a text file. For more information, read the Microsoft Knowledge Base article (Q255606) XL97: No Macro Virus Warning Opening Text File Containing XLM.
