Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

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.
