Microsoft Visual FoxPro FPOLE.OCX ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microsoft Visual FoxPro FPOLE.OCX ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microsoft Visual FoxPro ActiveX control is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it 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 using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

Microsoft Visual FoxPro 6.0 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
