activePDF WebGrabber ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow

activePDF WebGrabber ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow
Posted Nov 26, 2009
Authored by MC | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit module exploits a stack overflow in activePDF WebGrabber 3.8. When sending an overly long string to the GetStatus() method of APWebGrb.ocx (3.8.2.0) an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code. This control is not marked safe for scripting, so choose your attack vector accordingly.
