DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in ICONICS VersionInfo ActiveX
control, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

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

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in GenVersion.dll version 8.0.138.0.
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to a fixed version. Contact the vendor for further
information.
