Microgaming Download Helper ActiveX Control Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microgaming Download Helper ActiveX Control Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microgaming Download Helper ActiveX control is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently check boundaries of user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

An attacker may exploit this issue by enticing victims into opening a malicious HTML document.

Exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of applications using the affected ActiveX control and to compromise affected computers. Failed attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
