SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA30952

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/30952/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
PPMate 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/19259/

DESCRIPTION:
Parvez Anwar has discovered a vulnerability in PPMate, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the PPMedia
Class ActiveX control (PPMPlayer.dll) when handling arguments passed
to the "StartUrl()" method. This can be exploited to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow via an overly long string passed as
argument to the affected method.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.3.1.93. Other versions
may also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
