Discussion

Multiple Vendor SizerOne ActiveX Control 'AddTab' Method Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

The SizerOne ActiveX control used in products by multiple vendors is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application that uses the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts will result in denial-of-service conditions.
