The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the NCTAudioFile2.AudioFile ActiveX control when handling the "SetFormatLikeSample()" method. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing an overly long string (about 4124 bytes) as argument to the affected method. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when a user e.g. visits a malicious website. ====================================================================== 5) Solution Update to version 2.6.0.4. ====================================================================== 6) Time Table 17/01/2007 - Vendor notified. 18/01/2007 - Vendor response. 19/01/2007 - Vendor issues fixed version. 24/01/2007 - Public disclosure. ====================================================================== 7) Credits Discovered by Carsten Eiram, Secunia Research. ====================================================================== 8) References The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned CVE-2007-0018 for the vulnerability. ====================================================================== 9) About Secunia Secunia offers vulnerability management solutions to corporate customers with verified and reliable vulnerability intelligence relevant to their specific system configuration: http://corporate.secunia.com/ Secunia also provides a publicly accessible and comprehensive advisory database as a service to the security community and private individuals, who are interested in or concerned about IT-security. http://secunia.com/ Secunia believes that it is important to support the community and to do active vulnerability research in order to aid improving the security and reliability of software in general: http://corporate.secunia.com/secunia_research/33/ Secunia regularly hires new skilled team members.
