Description

A remote overflow exists in Shockwave Player ActiveX Installer. The product fails to perform boundary checks on two unspecified values when using CLSID 166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000 resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request to a site hosting malicious shockwave content during the installation procedure, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
