Microsoft Visio DXF File Format Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
RISK: High Risk
TYPE: Clients - Productivity Products
This is a remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take complete control of the 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 impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
