Description:
pyrokinesis has discovered a vulnerability in the KeyWorks KeyHelp ActiveX 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 KeyHelp.KeyCtrl.1 ActiveX control (KeyHelp.ocx). This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long argument passed to the "JumpMappedID()" or "JumpURL()" method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in KeyHelp.ocx version 1.2.3120.0. Other versions may also be affected.
