Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Thomas Pollet has reported a vulnerability in Hummingbird Xweb ActiveX Control, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the Hummingbird.XWebHostCtrl.1 ActiveX control (hclxweb.dll) when handling the "PlainTextPassword" property. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by assigning an overly long string to the affected property.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 13.0.
