    MSCOMCTL.ListView — CVE-2012-0158
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 222,208 bytes but its declared streams total only 118,077 bytes — 104,131 bytes (47%) live in unallocated sector slack. This is the canonical hiding place for pre-macro-era Office exploit payloads (XOR-encoded shellcode reached via a parser pointer-corruption bug in the document structure).
  • VBA project contains no executable statements info OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains a VBA project, but extracted modules only contain attributes/options/comments and no executable statements.
