Re: [Full-disclosure] Excel 0-day?

Thanks for bringing this point to the list.
I had similar thoughts when writing Excel 0-day FAQ document last night.
Like we know that item was pulled out quite soon, but it's always possible that 
someone had contacts to the author before that process.

It's very hard to believe that this new Trojan is exploiting issues fixed in 
'eBay case' CVE-2005-4131. This code execution issue was fixed with MS06-012 as 
part of monthly security updates released in March.
New vulnerability has been confirmed in fully patched XP SP2 system.
If the attacker uses fixed vulnerability he or she has only unpatched machines 
as target.
