Description:
Brian Mariani has discovered a vulnerability in RKD Software BarCode ActiveX, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the ABarCode (BarCodeAx.dll) ActiveX control when handling the "BeginPrint()" method. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing an overly-long string as argument to the affected method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 4.9.0.0. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
