Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Lycos FileUploader Module version 2.0.0.2

Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the FileUploader.FUploadCtl.1 ActiveX control, which is part of the FileUploader.dll. This can be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by providing a long value for the HandwriterFilename property.

Recommendations For version 2.0.0.2, consider restricting access to the FileUploader.FUploadCtl.1 ActiveX control until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the HandwriterFilename property with long values to minimize the risk of exploitation.
