Title: Ultra Office Control 'HttpUpload()' Method Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Ultra Office Control is an ActiveX control that allows users to open, view, and edit Microsoft Office documents in a web browser.

Ultra Office Control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. The vulnerability affects the 'HttpUpload()' method of the 'OfficeCtrl.ocx' ActiveX control identified by CLSID:

00989888-BB72-4E31-A7C6-5F819C24D2F7

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of an application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

Ultra Office Control 2.0.2008.501 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Affected Products:

  • Ultra Shareware Ultra Office Control 2.0.2008.501
