Description:
Will Dormann has reported some vulnerabilities in Zoomify Viewer ActiveX control, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors within the Zoomify Viewer (ZActiveX.dll) ActiveX control when handling certain methods or properties and can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows when a user visits a malicious website.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
Solution:
The vendor advises users to switch to the Flash-based viewing solutions.
