CVE_2009_0238
What it means
Excel workbook has repeated malformed drawing-object (OBJ) records using an invalid target value, alongside shellcode/heap-spray context — the CVE-2009-0238 shape.
Why it fires
CVE-2009-0238 is an Excel remote-code-execution vulnerability triggered by a crafted workbook that causes invalid object access. The detector requires repeated malformed BIFF OBJ records whose ftMacro subrecord uses the invalid 0xFFFF target, plus shellcode or heap-spray context. Ordinary form-control OBJ records are not sufficient.
