Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Macrovision FLEXnet Connect, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "Download()" method of the Update Service Agent ActiveX control (isusweb.dll), which can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but requires that a user is e.g. tricked into visiting a malicious website.
