Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description	Microsoft Visio is a diagram creation software for Microsoft Windows. Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Visio. A remote attacker could trigger these flaws by convincing the victim to open a specially crafted Visio file. Successful exploitation of these issues allows execution of arbitrary code once a malformed Visio file is being loaded on a vulnerable system. An unsuccessful code execution attack may cause Microsoft Visio to terminate abnormally, resulting in the loss of any unsaved data from the current session.
