Vulnerability Information

Severity: High
Vulnerability Published: 2012-03-22
Patch Published: N/A
CVE [?]: CVE-2012-0284
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:cisco:linksys_playerpt_activex_control

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has an ActiveX control that is affected by multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities.

Description

The Cisco Linksys PlayerPT ActiveX Control is installed on the remote Windows host. The installed version of the control is affected by the following buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the SetSource() method :

- The 'base64string' argument is not properly sanitized. (EBD-ID #18641)

- The 'sURL' argument is not properly sanitized if the 'sFrameType' argument is set to 'mpeg'. (CVE-2012-0284)

By tricking a victim into visiting a specially crafted page, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on the host.

Solution

Set the kill bit for the control as there is no fix at the time of this writing.
