HTTP: Microsoft Visio Object Header Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Microsoft Visio. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the user.
Extended Description
Microsoft Visio is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because it fails to adequately handle user-supplied data.
