Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in an ActiveX control for the installer for Adobe Macromedia Shockwave Player 10.1.0.11 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted large values for unspecified parameters.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Macromedia Shockwave. Exploitation requires the target to visit a malicious web site.
This specific flaw exists within the ActiveX control with CLSID 166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000. Specifying large values for two specific parameters to this control results in an exploitable stack based buffer overflow. Due to the nature of this vulnerability, the target user is not required to have fully completed an installation of Shockwave to be vulnerable.
