VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/25258/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
PrecisionID Data Matrix ActiveX Barcode Control 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/14219/

DESCRIPTION:
shinnai has discovered a vulnerability in PrecisionID Data Matrix
ActiveX Barcode Control, which can be exploited by malicious people
to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in
PrecisionID.Datamatrix.1 ActiveX control (PrecisionID_DataMatrix.dll)
when handling the "SaveBarCode()" method. This can be exploited to
cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing an overly long
argument to the affected method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.3.0.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
