Description:
Will Dormann has reported some vulnerabilities in the Oracle JInitiator "beans.ocx" ActiveX control, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to errors within the Oracle JInitiator "beans.ocx" ActiveX control when handling certain unspecified initialization parameters. This can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows by e.g. tricking a user into visiting a malicious website.
Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.1.8.3 through 1.1.8.25 of Oracle JInitiator. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 1.1.8.27.
