Discussion
Dart Zip Compression DartZip.DLL ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Dart Zip Compression for ActiveX is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.
Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
Dart Zip Compression for ActiveX 1.8.5.3 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
NOTE: Due to code reuse, this issue is similar or possibly identical to the one described in BID 24099 (Dart ZipLite Compression DartZipLite.DLL ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability). This has not been confirmed.
