Discussion
Lycos File Upload Component 'FileUploader.dll' ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Lycos File Upload Component ActiveX control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.
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.
This issue affects 'FileUploader.dll' 2.0.0.2; other versions may also be vulnerable.
