Discussion
Adobe Shockwave Player ActiveX Control 'PlayerVersion' Property Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Adobe Shockwave Player ActiveX control is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.
Successful exploits allow 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.
Shockwave Player 11.5.1.601 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
