DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Provideo
ActiveX controls, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.

1) A boundary error in the alarm ActiveX control (2way.dll) when
handling the "voice()" method can be exploited to cause a stack-based
buffer overflow via an overly long "strIp" argument.

2) A boundary error in the GMAXPlayer ActiveX control when receiving
network responses from a device connection specified via the "URL"
and "CtrlPort" object parameters can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow.

3) A boundary error in the GMAXPlayer ActiveX control when processing
the "UserName" and "Password" object parameters can be exploited to
cause a heap-based buffer overflow.

4) A boundary error in the PAxPlayer ActiveX control when processing
the "GetString()" method can be exploited to cause a heap-based
buffer overflow via an overly long string passed in the "Id"
parameter.

5) A boundary error in the PAxPlayer ActiveX control when processing
the "ConnectIPCam()" method can be exploited to cause a stack-based
buffer overflow via an overly long string passed in the "strAdr"
parameter.

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities allows execution of
arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in the following controls (other
versions may also be affected):
* Provideo alarm ActiveX Control version 1.0.3.1.
* Provideo GMAXPlayer ActiveX Control (AXPlayer.ocx) version
2.0.8.2.
* Provideo PAxPlayer ActiveX Control (PAxPlayer.ocx) version 3.0.0.9.

SOLUTION:
Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX controls.
