The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the dwa7.dwa7.1 ActiveX control (dwa7W.dll) when handling strings assigned to the "General_ServerName" property. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by assigning an overly long string to the affected property and then calling the "InstallBrowserHelperDll()" method. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is reported in dwa7W.dll version 7.0.34.1. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
