Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Visio Viewer 2010 Could Allow Remote Code
Execution (2663510)
Published Date: February 14, 2012
Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves five privately reported vulnerabilities in
Microsoft Office. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a
user opens a specially crafted Visio file. An attacker who successfully
exploited these vulnerabilities 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.
This security update is rated Important for all supported editions of Microsoft
Visio Viewer 2010. For more information, see the subsection, Affected Software,
in this section.

Vulnerability Information
VSD File Format Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0019
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Visio

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.

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.
