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

The vulnerability is caused due to ATL MFC Trace Tool
(AtlTraceTool8.exe) loading libraries (e.g. dwmapi.dll) in an
insecure manner. This can be exploited to load arbitrary libraries by
tricking a user into e.g. opening a TRC file located on a remote
WebDAV or SMB share.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 10.0.30319.1. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted files.
