Stack-based buffer overflow in VATDecoder.VatCtrl.1 ActiveX control in (1) 4xem VatCtrl Class (VATDecoder.dll 1.0.0.27 and 1.0.0.51), (2) D-Link MPEG4 SHM Audio Control (VAPGDecoder.dll 1.7.0.5), (3) Vivotek RTSP MPEG4 SP Control (RtspVapgDecoderNew.dll 2.0.0.39), and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long Url property. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old client-side vulnerability in ActiveX video decoder controls tied to 4xem, D-Link, and Vivotek components. If a vulnerable control is installed, a malicious webpage could trigger a buffer overflow through an overly long Url property and potentially run code as the user. Exposure is mainly legacy Windows systems using Internet Explorer or ActiveX-dependent camera/video software where the listed controls remain installed. Modern environments without ActiveX support are unlikely to be affected. Prioritize this where legacy camera viewing systems or ActiveX-dependent workflows still exist. The business risk is user workstation compromise from browsing hostile content, not direct server exposure. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for the named DLLs and ActiveX controls.; Remove or disable affected ActiveX controls where not required.; Check 4xem, D-Link, and Vivotek guidance for fixed components..
