Microsoft Visual Studio 'Msmask32.ocx' ActiveX Control Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
The Microsoft Visual Studio ActiveX control, MaskedEdit, is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of an application using the affected ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. 'Msmask32.ocx' 6.0.81.69 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. UPDATE: Testing indicates that 'Msmask32.ocx' 6.0.84.18 is not vulnerable; we are working with Microsoft to confirm our findings and gain further details. We recommend that users install 6.0.84.18 or a later version. |
