Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Macromedia Shockwave version 10.1.4.20
Description
The issue is related to multiple stack-based buffer overflows in an ActiveX control in SwDir.dll. This can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service, such as crashing Internet Explorer 7, and possibly execute arbitrary code. The overflows can occur via long property values, including
BGCOLOR, SRC, AutoStart, Sound, DrawLogo, or DrawProgress.Recommendations
For Macromedia Shockwave version 10.1.4.20, consider disabling the ActiveX control in SwDir.dll as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the properties
BGCOLOR, SRC, AutoStart, Sound, DrawLogo, and DrawProgress to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
