TITLE:
NCTsoft Products NCTAudioFile2 ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA23475

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/23475/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
NCTAudioEditor ActiveX DLL 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/13047/
NCTAudioStudio ActiveX DLL 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/7038/
NCTDialogicVoice ActiveX DLL 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/13048/

DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in NCTAudioStudio,
NCTAudioEditor, and NCTDialogicVoice, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the
NCTAudioFile2.AudioFile ActiveX control (NCTAudioFile2.dll) when
handling the "SetFormatLikeSample()" method. This can be exploited to
cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing an overly long string
(about 4124 bytes) as argument to the affected method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.7.1 including
NCTAudioFile2.dll versions 2.5.7.514 and 2.6.1.648. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Set the kill-bit for the ActiveX control.

Use another product.
