Unitronics UniDownloader IPWorksSSL.HTTPS.1 ActiveX Control SSLCertHandle Property Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Unitronics UniDownloader. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within processing of the SSLCertHandle property of the IPWorksSSL.HTTPS ActiveX control. A crafted value can cause system software to treat arbitrary memory as a certificate structure which is then modified.
