Discussion

JComSoft 'AniGIF.ocx' ReadGIF and ReadGIF2 Methods ActiveX Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

JComSoft Animation GIF ActiveX control is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Successfully exploiting these issues may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

Animation GIF ActiveX 2.47, 1.12a, and 1.12b are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
