Microsoft Visio 2003 DLL Hijacking Exploit
This exploit is for Microsoft Visio 2003 and allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by hijacking a vulnerable DLL. The exploit is triggered by creating a file with the .vtx extension in the same directory as the malicious DLL. When the vulnerable application is launched, the malicious DLL is loaded and the code is executed.
Mitigation:
Ensure that vulnerable applications are not running with elevated privileges. Additionally, ensure that vulnerable applications are not running from directories with user-writable permissions.
