Microsoft VDT Database Designer VDT70.DLL ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Publish date: February 25, 2011
  Severity: MEDIUM
  CVE Identifier: CVE-2007-2885
  Advisory Date: FEB 25, 2011

  DESCRIPTION

Microsoft Visual Database Tools Database Designer ActiveX Control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to handle overly long user-supplied strings. Attackers can exploit this issue to crash Internet Explorer or other applications that use the vulnerable ActiveX control, resulting in denial-of-service conditions; arbitrary code execution is also possible. The NotSafe function in the MSVDTDatabaseDesigner7 ActiveX control in VDT70.DLL in Microsoft Visual Database Tools (MSVDT) Database Designer 7.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Internet Explorer 6 crash) via a long argument.
