Buffer overflow in the IsValidFile function in the ADM ActiveX control for Altnet Download Manager 4.0.0.4 and earlier, as used in Kazaa Media Desktop 1.3 through 2.6.4 and Grokkster 1.3 through 2.6, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long bstrFilepath parameter.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2004-2433 is a buffer overflow in an old Altnet Download Manager ActiveX control used by Kazaa and Grokkster. If present on a workstation, hostile content could potentially run code through the vulnerable control. This is mainly a legacy-software risk, but the impact is serious where the component remains installed. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Windows endpoints with Altnet Download Manager, Kazaa Media Desktop, Grokkster, or the ADM ActiveX control installed. Modern managed environments are unlikely to be exposed unless old peer-to-peer software or browser ActiveX components persist. Prioritize as high where legacy affected software exists, because arbitrary code execution on user workstations can lead to compromise. If inventory confirms the software is absent, business urgency drops substantially. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Altnet Download Manager, Kazaa, Grokkster, and ADM ActiveX components.; Check vendor or archive guidance for fixed versions or removal instructions.; Remove unsupported legacy peer-to-peer software where business use is not required..
