The vulnerability is caused due to a use-after-free error in the Sb.SuperBuddy.1 ActiveX control (sb.dll). This can be exploited to cause a memory corruption via malformed arguments passed to the "SetSuperBuddy()" ActiveX method. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is confirmed in sb.dll version 9.5.0.1. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
