This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Microsoft Visio. Visio 2002, Visio 2003, and Visio 2007 are affected. A successful exploit can result in arbitrary code execution.
Microsoft Visio is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because it fails to adequately handle user-supplied data. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
