COMMAX WebViewer ActiveX Control 2.1.4.5 (Commax_WebViewer.ocx) Buffer Overflow


Vendor: COMMAX Co., Ltd.
Prodcut web page: https://www.commax.com
Affected version: 2.1.4.5

Summary: COMMAX activex web viewer client (32bit) for COMMAX DVR/NVR.

Desc: The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the
processing of user input, which can be exploited to cause a buffer
overflow when a user inserts overly long array of string bytes
through several functions. Successful exploitation could allow
execution of arbitrary code on the affected node.

Tested on: Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64bit) EN
           Microsoft Internet Explorer 20H2
