The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors in the Dialog Wrapper Module ActiveX control (DlgWrapper.dll) when handling the "DoModal()" method. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing an overly long string as either the FileName or Filter argument. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when a user e.g. visits a malicious website. The vulnerability is confirmed in ICONICS Vessel ActiveX 8.02.140 including DlgWrapper.dll 8.0.138.0. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Update to DlgWrapper.dll 8.4.166.0 by applying the hotfix: http://www.iconics.com/support/free_tools/FreeToolsActiveX_DlgWrapperHotFix.zip PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Will Dormann ORIGINAL ADVISORY: US-CERT VU#251969: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/251969 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- About: This Advisory was delivered by Secunia as a free service to help everybody keeping their systems up to date against the latest vulnerabilities.
