Autodesk MapGuide Viewer ActiveX Control 'LayersViewWidth()' Method Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Autodesk MapGuide ActiveX Control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application, typically Internet Explorer, that uses the ActiveX control. Failed exploit attempts will result in denial-of-service conditions.

Autodesk MapGuide Viewer 6.5 is vulnerable; other versions may be affected.
