Description:
rgod has discovered a vulnerability in RTSP MPEG4 SP Control, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the RtspVaPgDecoder.RtspVaPgCtrl.1 ActiveX control (RtspVapgDecoder.dll) when handling strings assigned to the "MP4Prefix" property. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by assigning an overly-long string to the affected property.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in RtspVapgDecoder.dll version 1.1.0.29. Other versions may also be affected.

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

Provided and/or discovered by:
rgod
