Description:
shinnai has discovered a vulnerability in EDraw Office Viewer Component, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the EDraw.OfficeViewer (officeviewer.ocx) ActiveX control when handling arguments passed to the "FtpDownloadFile()" method. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing an overly long (greater than 1024 characters) argument to the affected method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.3.220.1. Other versions may also be affected.
