InterActual Player provides multiple ActiveX controls that are vulnerable to buffer overflows. This can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
InterActual Player is a video DVD playing application for Windows systems. InterActual Player was formerly known as InterActual PCFriendly. The InterActual Player software provides several ActiveX controls. ActiveX controls provided by IASystemInfo.dll
are vulnerable to stack buffer overflows in the ApplicationType
property. Note that some versions of InterActual WinDVD provide the vulnerable ActiveX controls.
By convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document (e.g., a web page, an HTML email message, or an HTML email attachment), an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user. The attacker could also cause the web browser to crash.
We are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem. Until a solution is identified, consider implementing the following workarounds.
Disable the InterActual SyscheckObject ActiveX control in Internet Explorer
The vulnerable ActiveX controls can be disabled in Internet Explorer by setting the kill bit for the following CLSIDs:
{B727C210-2022-11D4-B2C6-0050DA1BD906}
{B727C212-2022-11D4-B2C6-0050DA1BD906}
{B727C217-2022-11D4-B2C6-0050DA1BD906}
{B727C219-2022-11D4-B2C6-0050DA1BD906}
{B727C21B-2022-11D4-B2C6-0050DA1BD906}
{B727C21D-2022-11D4-B2C6-0050DA1BD906}
{B727C220-2022-11D4-B2C6-0050DA1BD906}
{B727C222-2022-11D4-B2C6-0050DA1BD906}
More information about how to set the kill bit is available in Microsoft Support Document 240797. Alternatively, the following text can be saved as a .REG
file and imported to set the kill bit for this control:

Disable ActiveX
Disabling ActiveX controls in the Internet Zone (or any zone used by an attacker) appears to prevent exploitation of this and other ActiveX vulnerabilities. Instructions for disabling ActiveX in the Internet Zone can be found in the Securing Your Web Browser document.
