DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Microsoft Visio, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application loading libraries
(e.g. mfc71enu.dll and mfc71loc.dll) in an insecure manner. This can
be exploited to load arbitrary libraries by tricking a user into e.g.
opening a Microsoft Visio Stencil (".vss") file located on a remote
WebDAV or SMB share.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2003 (11.3216.5606). Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted files.
