Anzio Web Print Object (WePO) ActiveX mainurl Parameter Buffer Overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 34021

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has an ActiveX component that is susceptible to a buffer overflow attack.

Description

The remote host contains the Anzio Web Print Object (WePO) ActiveX component, which is used for 'push' printing from a web page or application.

The version of the control installed on the remote host reportedly contains a stack-based buffer overflow that can be triggered by passing long values of its 'mainurl' parameter. If an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into viewing a specially crafted HTML document, this method could be used to execute arbitrary code on the affected system subject to the user's privileges.

Solution

Upgrade to Anzio Web Print Object 3.2.30 or later.
