Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Visio, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) An input validation error in the handling of the version number field in a Visio (.VSD, VSS, or .VST) file can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially crafted Visio file.

2) An error in the handling of packed objects in a Visio file can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially crafted Visio file.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of arbitrary code.
