DESCRIPTION:
Parvez Anwar has discovered two vulnerabilities in InterActual
Player, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.
1) A boundary error within the IAMCE (IAMCE.dll) ActiveX control when
handling the "FailURL" property can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow by assigning an overly long (greater than
256 bytes) string to the affected property.
2) A boundary error within the IAKey (IAKey.dll) ActiveX control when
handling the "URLCode" property can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow by assigning an overly long (around 900
bytes) string to the affected property.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.60.12.0717. Other
versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
The vendor is reportedly working on a fix.
Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
