BusinessObjects 'RptViewerAX' ActiveX Control Stack Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

BusinessObjects 'RptViewerAX' ActiveX Control Stack Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

BusinessObjects 'RptViewerAX' 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 in the context of an application using the affected control (typically Internet Explorer). Successful attacks can compromise the application and possibly the underlying computer. Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.
