DESCRIPTION:
Digital Security Research Group has discovered a vulnerability in
Net4Switch ipswcom ActiveX Control, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"CxDbgPrint()" function (cxcmrt.dll) when creating a debug message
string. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow
via an overly long string passed to the "Alert()" method.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0.0020 (ipswcom 1.0.0.1).
Other versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
