Discussion
Viewpoint Media Player AxMetaStream.DLL ActiveX Control Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
Viewpoint Media Player is prone to multiple stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the software fails to adequately check boundaries on data supplied to ActiveX control methods.
An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of a user running the application. Failed attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
Viewpoint Media Player 3.2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
