IDAutomation Barcode ActiveX Controls Multiple Arbitrary File Overwrite Vulnerabilities

IDAutomation Barcode ActiveX Controls Multiple Arbitrary File Overwrite Vulnerabilities

IDAutomation Barcode ActiveX controls are prone to multiple vulnerabilities that allow attackers to overwrite arbitrary files.

An attacker can exploit these issues by enticing an unsuspecting victim to view a malicious HTML page.

Successfully exploiting these issues will allow the attacker to corrupt and overwrite arbitrary files on the victim's computer in the context of the vulnerable application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer).

The following applications are vulnerable:

Linear Barcode ActiveX Control 1.6.0.6
Data Matrix Barcode Font & Encoder 1.6.0.6
PDF417 Barcode Font and Encoder 1.6.0.6
Aztec Barcode Font & Encoder 1.7.1.0

Other versions may also be affected.
