Description:
shinnai has discovered a vulnerability in Chilkat Crypt ActiveX Component, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to the ChilkatCrypt2.ChilkatCrypt2.1 (ChilkatCrypt2.dll) ActiveX control including the insecure "WriteFile()" method. This can be exploited to write arbitrary data to arbitrary files in the context of the currently logged-on user.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
