Discussion

Linksys WVC54GC 'NetCamPlayerWeb11gv2.ocx' ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Linksys WVC54GC NetCamPlayerWeb11gv2 Agent ActiveX Control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to adequately check boundaries on user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

WVC53GC with firmware versions prior to 1.25 that include the ActiveX control are vulnerable.
