The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the Hummingbird.XWebHostCtrl.1 ActiveX control (hclxweb.dll) when handling the "PlainTextPassword" property. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by assigning an overly long string to the affected property. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 13.0. SOLUTION: Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
