Gesytec GmbH ElonFmt ActiveX 'GetItem1()' Method Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Gesytec GmbH ElonFmt ActiveX control 'ElonFmt.ocx' 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 (typically Internet Explorer) using the ActiveX control. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

ElonFmt ActiveX 1.1.14 is affected; other versions may also be vulnerable.
