SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA20938

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/20938/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
iMBCContents ActiveX Control 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/10861/

DESCRIPTION:
Gyu Tae Park has discovered a vulnerability in the iMBCContents
ActiveX control, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the iMBCContents ActiveX control
including the insecure "Execute()" method, which executes an
arbitrary URI taken as argument. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary local programs with parameters on a user's system via a URI
using the "file:" URI handler.

Successful exploitation requires that the user is e.g. tricked into
visiting a malicious web site.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.0.0.55. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.0.0.59.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
