Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:

Synactis PDF In-The-Box ActiveX control (PDF IN 1.ocx) (affected versions not specified)

Description:

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the `ConnectToSynactis` method of the Synactis PDF In-The-Box ActiveX control (PDF IN 1.ocx). A `strcpy` operation overwrites a saved TRegistry class pointer on the stack when a long string is passed to the method, intended to populate the `ldCmdLine` argument of a WinExec call. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user by enticing them to visit a malicious webpage that instantiates the vulnerable ActiveX control. The vulnerability was discovered through its use in third-party software such as Logic Print 2013.

Recommendations:

At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
