BitDefender Online Scanner OScan.OCX ActiveX Control Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

BitDefender Online Scanner is prone a heap-based 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 using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
