Summary

Microsoft Visio 2007 SP3, Visio 2010 SP2, Visio 2013 SP1, Visio 2016, Visio Viewer 2007 SP3, and Visio Viewer 2010 mishandle library loading, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka "Microsoft Office OLE DLL Side Loading Vulnerability."

Metasploit

descriptionMultiple DLL side loading vulnerabilities were found in various COM components. These issues can be exploited by loading various these components as an embedded OLE object. When instantiating a vulnerable object Windows will try to load one or more DLLs from the current working directory. If an attacker convinces the victim to open a specially crafted (Office) document from a directory also containing the attacker's DLL file, it is possible to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the target user. This can potentially result in the attacker taking complete control of the affected system.

descriptionThe remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office : - Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file or visit a website that hosts such a file, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the user. (CVE-2016-0025, CVE-2016-3233) - A flaw exists due to improper disclosure of memory contents. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file, resulting in the disclosure of potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2016-3234) - A flaw exists due to improper validation of input before loading OLE library files. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-3235)
