Description:
Parvez Anwar has discovered a vulnerability in PPMate, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the PPMedia Class ActiveX control (PPMPlayer.dll) when handling arguments passed to the "StartUrl()" method. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via an overly long string passed as argument to the affected method.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.3.1.93. Other versions may also be affected.
