Title: Microsoft DirectX Media SDK DXTLIPI.DLL ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Microsoft DirectX Media SDK is a set of multimedia-related APIs for Microsoft Windows.
Microsoft DirectX Media SDK 'DXTLIPI.DLL' ActiveX control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.
This issue occurs when approximately 1044 bytes of data are passed to the 'SourceUrl' property of 'DXSurface.LivePicture.FLashPix.1'. The ActiveX control uses CLSID: 201EA564-A6F6-11D1-811D-00C04FB6BD36.
Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
Microsoft DirectX Media SDK 6.0 with DXTLIPI.DLL 6.0.2.827 is reported vulnerable.

- Microsoft DirectX Media SDK 6.0
