Description: A vulnerability has been discovered in Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft Access, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to a race condition in the snapview.ocx ActiveX control when setting the "SnapshotPath" and "CompressedPath" properties. This can be exploited to automatically download files to arbitrary locations on a user's system when e.g. visiting a malicious website. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. NOTE: The vulnerability is currently being actively exploited. Solution: Apply patches. Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft Access: Microsoft is currently working on the patch for this product and will release it as soon as possible. As a workaround, set the kill-bit for the ActiveX control.
