Synopsis

The remote Windows host has an ActiveX control that is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The install of the Cisco Linksys PlayerPT ActiveX control on the remote Windows host reportedly has a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that can be triggered by a specially crafted argument to the 'base64string' argument of the its SetSource() method.
