Discussion

VersalSoft HTTP File Upload ActiveX Control Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

VersalSoft HTTP File Upload is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

Successful attacks corrupt process memory, allowing arbitrary code to run in the context of the client application using the affected ActiveX control.

VersalSoft HTTP File Upload 6.36 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
