Microsoft Visio 2003 SP3, 2007 SP2, and 2010 Gold and SP1 does not properly validate objects in memory during Visio file parsing, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file, aka "pStream Release RCE Vulnerability."
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 22.2%, higher than 98% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
