DESCRIPTION:
Will Dormann has reported some vulnerabilities in the Motive
Communications ActiveUtils EmailData ActiveX control, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to unspecified errors within the
ActiveEmailTest.EmailData (ActiveUtils.dll) ActiveX control, which
can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows by e.g.
tricking a user into visiting a malicious website.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 5.1 and prior.

SOLUTION:
Reportedly, automatic updates have been released to all corporate
customers and this is also fixed via MS07-045 (Cumulative Security
Update for Microsoft Internet Explorer).
