Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in GraceNote CDDBControl ActiveX Control, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of unspecified options that are passed to the ActiveX control. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow and may allow arbitrary code execution.
Successful exploitation requires that e.g. the user is tricked into visiting a malicious website.
The vulnerability has been reported in the ActiveX control distributed with the following products:
* Sony CONNECT Player
* Sony SonicStage version 3.3 and 3.4
* Sony SonicStage Mastering Studio version 2.1 and 2.2
Note: Other products that install the ActiveX control for CDDB CD information lookup may also be affected.
Solution:
The vendor has issued a patch for the affected Sony products.

The vendor recommends users of other affected products to contact their respective vendors for an update.
The vendor has also provided the following program to allow users of other Gracenote-enabled products to disable the ActiveX control if a patch is not available.
