SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA30415

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/30415/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

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

DESCRIPTION:
Will Dormann has reported some vulnerabilities in NCTAudioStudio and
NCTAudioEditor, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors in the
NCTAudioInformation2 (NCTAudioInformation2.dll) ActiveX control when
handling certain unspecified properties or methods. These can be
exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows when a user is
tricked into visiting a malicious website.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

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

Reportedly, the vendor will not be providing updates and no longer
supports the affected ActiveX control.

Use another product.
