DESCRIPTION:
shinnai has discovered some vulnerabilities in various IDAutomation
Barcode ActiveX controls, which can be exploited by malicious people

* IDAuto.Datamatrix.1 (IDAutomationDMATRIX6.DLL)
* IDAuto.PDF417.1 (IDAutomationPDF417_6.dll)
* IDAuto.Aztec.1 (IDAutomationAZTEC.dll)

These can be exploited to overwrite and corrupt arbitrary files in
the system in the context of the currently logged-on user.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in the following versions:
* IDAutomation Linear Barcode ActiveX Control 1.6.0.6
* IDAutomation Data Matrix Barcode Font & Encoder 1.6.0.6
* IDAutomation PDF417 Barcode Font and Encoder 1.6.0.6
