TITLE:

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/27418/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
GOM Player 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/13383/

DESCRIPTION:
rgod has discovered a vulnerability in GOM Player, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the
GomWebCtrl.GomManager.1 ActiveX control (GomWeb3.dll) when handling
the "OpenURL()" method. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based
buffer overflow by passing an overly-long (greater than 500 bytes)
argument to the affected method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.1.6.3499. Other versions
may also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
rgod
