TITLE:
AOL SuperBuddy ActiveX Control "SetSuperBuddy()" Memory Corruption

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36919

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36919/

DESCRIPTION:
trotzkista has discovered a vulnerability in the AOL SuperBuddy
ActiveX control, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a use-after-free error in the
Sb.SuperBuddy.1 ActiveX control (sb.dll). This can be exploited to
cause a memory corruption via malformed arguments passed to the
"SetSuperBuddy()" ActiveX method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in sb.dll version 9.5.0.1. Other
versions may also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
