Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Avax Vector ActiveX version 1.3

Description The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the Avax Vector ActiveX control, specifically in the avPreview.ocx component. This can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash. The exploitation occurs via a long PrinterName property.

Recommendations For Avax Vector ActiveX version 1.3, consider restricting the length of the PrinterName property to prevent buffer overflow exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using excessively long printer names in the affected ActiveX control.
