TITLE:
Movie Player Pro SDK ActiveX Control "DrawText()" Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38156

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38156/

DESCRIPTION:
shinnai has discovered a vulnerability in the Movie Player Pro SDK
ActiveX control, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the
MOVIEPLAYER.MoviePlayerCtrl.1 ActiveX control (MoviePlayer.ocx). This
can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing an
overly long "strFontName" parameter to the "DrawText()" ActiveX
method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in MoviePlayer.ocx version 6.8.0.0.
Other versions may also be affected.

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