Microsoft Visio Could Allow Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities

1. Visio Attribute Validation Memory Corruption Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Office Visio validates attributes when handling specially crafted Visio files.

An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less affected than users who operate with administrative user rights.

2. Visio Index Calculation Memory Corruption Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Office Visio calculates indexes when handling specially crafted Visio files.

An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less affected than users who operate with administrative user rights.
