Detail
Vulnerability Note VU#848873iseemedia / Roxio / MGI Software LPViewer ActiveX control stack buffer overflowsOverviewThe iseemedia LPViewer ActiveX control contains multiple stack buffer overflows, which can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.I. DescriptionThe iseemedia LPViewer ActiveX control, which is provided by the file LPControl.dll, is a component that was created by MGI Software. It was then acquired by Roxio, and then iseemedia after that. The LPViewer ActiveX control contains stack buffer overflows in the url(), toolbar(), and enableZoomPastMax() methods.II. ImpactBy convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document (e.g., a web page or an HTML email message or attachment), an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user. The attacker could also cause Internet Explorer (or the program using the WebBrowser control) to crash.III. SolutionWe are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem. Please consider the following workarounds:Disable the LPViewer ActiveX control in Internet Explorer
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerActiveX Compatibility{3F0EECCE-E138-11D1-8712-0060083D83F5}] "Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400 Disabling ActiveX controls in the Internet Zone (or any zone used by an attacker) appears to prevent exploitation of this and other ActiveX vulnerabilities. Instructions for disabling ActiveX in the Internet Zone can be found in the "Securing Your Web Browser" document. Systems Affected

48946 | MGI Software LPViewer ActiveX (LPControl.dll) Multiple Method Overflows Multiple buffer overflows exist in LPViewer. The LPControl.dll ActiveX control fails to validate data passed to the 'url,' 'toolbar,' and 'enableZoomPastMax' methods resulting in a stack overflow. With a specially crafted website, a context-dependent attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |
