DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in GraceNote CDDBControl ActiveX
Control, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
handling of unspecified options that are passed to the ActiveX
control. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow and may
allow arbitrary code execution.

Successful exploitation requires that e.g. the user is tricked into
visiting a malicious website.

The vulnerability has been reported in the ActiveX control
distributed with the following products:
* Sony CONNECT Player
* Sony SonicStage version 3.3 and 3.4
* Sony SonicStage Mastering Studio version 2.1 and 2.2

Note: Other products that install the ActiveX control for CDDB CD
information lookup may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
The vendor has issued a patch for the affected Sony products.
http://www.gracenote.com/sec062706/SonySecurityNotification.html

The vendor recommends users of other affected products to contact
their respective vendors for an update.

The vendor has also provided the following program to allow users of
other Gracenote-enabled products to disable the ActiveX control if a
patch is not available.
