Multiple vulnerabilities in Microsoft Visual Basic ActiveX controls

1) Memory corruption

EUVDB-ID: #VU1272

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 8.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2008-4256

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability alows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists due to a buffer overflow in the Charts ActiveX Control. A remote attacker can construct a specially crafted Web page, trick the victim into viewing it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system with privileges of the current user.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.
