Yes, you can just patch your post.php.
The workaround until the update is as follows:
cd /your/wordpress/path/wp-includes
wget http://core.trac.wordpress.org/raw-attachment/ticket/22944/22944.3.patch
patch -b post.php 22944.3.patch
rm 22944.3.patch
If you messed it up, you can revert your file by doing:
rm post.php
mv post.php.orig post.php
I hope this helps.
Note that this might not be the optimal solution. Might be a good idea to hang around and wait for the update.
Also, I hope "Excel" is an auto-complete typo and you didn't actually paste code into excel. lol
