Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in InterActual Player, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the IASystemInfo.dll ActiveX control when processing the "ApplicationType" property. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long string (more than 260 bytes).
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when e.g. visiting a malicious website.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.60.12.0717. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Set the kill-bit on the ActiveX control.
The vendor is reportedly working on a fix.
Provided and/or discovered by:
Carsten Eiram, Secunia Research.
Independently discovered by Will Dormann of CERT/CC.
