Who is Vulnerable?
Provideo ISSCamControl ActiveX version 1.0.1.5
Vulnerability Description
A buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported in Provideo ISSCamControl ActiveX Control. A remote attacker could exploit this issue by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted HTML document or open a malicious web page. Successful exploitation could result in remote code execution on the target system once the malicious page is loaded.
Vulnerability Details
The vulnerability is due to a boundary error within the ISSCamControl Module (ISSCamControl.dll) ActiveX control that fails to properly handle malformed "URL" properties. To trigger the vulnerability, an attacker can create a malicious web page that initiates the malformed ActiveX control. Successful exploitation of this issue allows execution of arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.
