TITLE:
DiViS-Web ActiveView ActiveX Control Site Adding Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34658

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34658/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in DiViS-Web ActiveView ActiveX
control, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially
compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in DvsNDKEx.dll
installed with the ActiveX control. This can be exploited to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow by e.g. supplying an overly long string
argument to the "AddSite()" or "AddSiteEx()" method provided by the
ActiveX control.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.0.0.21. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Set the kill-bit for the ActiveX control to block this attack vector.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
