CRITICAL:
Highly critical
IMPACT:
System access
WHERE:
>From remote

DESCRIPTION:
Elazar Broad has discovered a vulnerability in Aurigma Image
Uploader, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the Image
Uploader Control ActiveX control when handling strings assigned to
certain properties (e.g. "ExtractExif" and "ExtractIptc"). This can
be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by assigning an
overly long string to the affected properties.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in ImageUploader5.ocx version
5.0.15.0, ImageUploader4.ocx version 4.6.11.0 and reported in
versions 4.6.17.0, 4.5.70.0, 4.5.126.0, and 5.0.10.0. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
