Discussion

Sony PC Companion 'DownloadURLToFile()' Function Stack Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Sony PC Companion is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data.

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

Sony PC Companion 2.10.115 and 2.10.108 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
