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.
