TITLE:

http://secunia.com/advisories/25180/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
TAL Bar Code ActiveX Control 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/14148/

DESCRIPTION:
Michal Bucko has discovered a vulnerability in TAL Bar Code 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 TAL
Bar Code ActiveX control (TALBarCd.ocx) when when processing
arguments passed to the "SaveBarCode()" method. This can be exploited
to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long (greater
than 260 bytes) string passed as argument to the said method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when a
user visits a malicious web site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.0.0.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
