Aurigma ImageUploader ActiveX control stack buffer overflows
Overview
The Aurigma ImageUploader ActiveX control contains multiple stack buffer overflow vulnerabilities, which may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
Description
Aurigma ImageUploader is an ActiveX control that provides the ability to upload pictures using the Internet Explorer web browser. The Aurigma ImageUploader ActiveX control is used by multiple web sites, such as Facebook and MySpace. This ActiveX control contains multiple stack buffer overflows in several properties, including Action, ExtractExif, and ExtractIptc. Limited testing has shown that versions up to and including version 5.0.30 may be vulnerable. Exploit code is publicly available. |
