DESCRIPTION:
Alexander Gavrun has discovered a vulnerability in Edraw Office
Viewer Component ActiveX control, which can be exploited by malicious
people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
the "HttpPost()" method. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based
buffer overflow via an overly long string passed in the "WebUrl"
parameter.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 7.4.0.277. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
