Descriptions
Buffer overflow in Microsoft Visio 2010 SP1 and Visio Viewer 2010 SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Visio file, aka "Visio DXF File Format Buffer Overflow Vulnerability."
Desbordamiento de búfer en Microsoft Visio 2010 Service Pack 1 y Visio Viewer 2010 Service Pack 1 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un archivo de Visio especialmente diseñado, también conocido como "desbordamiento de búfer Visio DXF File Format".
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Visio. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within DWGDP.DLL, which is responsible for parsing DXF files. When processing MTEXT strings in the ENTITIES section of the DXF file, certain characters are sought after to end the string copy function. If these characters are not found, the copy function will continue to copy data outside of the stack buffer, causing memory corruption. An attacker can utilize this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the program.
