Published: July 12, 2011
Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in Microsoft
Visio. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a
legitimate Visio file that is located in the same network directory as a
specially crafted library file. An attacker who successfully exploited this
vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged-on user. 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.

Vulnerability Information
Microsoft Visio Insecure Library Loading Vulnerability - CVE-2010-3148
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Visio
handles the loading of DLL 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 impacted than users who operate
with administrative user rights.
