Software Description

SlySoft AnyDVD is capable of removing unwanted movie features, including subtitles and prohibition messages such as copyright and FBI warnings. It also allows you to launch an external application whenever you insert or remove a disc, or prevent ‘PC-friendly’ software from automatically launching when you insert a video DVD.

Vulnerability Description

Positive Technologies Research Team has discovered multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities in SlySoft products.

The IOCTL handler in ElbyCDIO.sys 6.0.2.0 and earlier, shipped with AnyDVD, Virtual CloneDrive, CloneDVD and CloneCD, uses the METHOD_NEITHER communication method for IOCTLs and does not properly validate buffer data associated with the Irp object, which allows local users to crash the system.

Solution
AnyDVD:
Update AnyDVD to version 6.5.2.6.
CloneDVD:
Update CloneDVD to version 2.9.2.2.
Virtual CloneDrive:
Update Virtual CloneDrive to version 5.4.2.5.
