The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the MPS.StormPlayer.1 ActiveX control (mps.dll). This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly large argument passed to the "OnBeforeVideoDownload()" method. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is confirmed in mps.dll version 3.9.4.27. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
